Republic India 100 Rupee Lion Capital Series Hirakud Dam White Strip Issue Banknote

Description

A truly rare collectible from India’s early post-independence era — this ₹100 Lion Capital Series note features the iconic Hirakud Dam and Hydro-Electric Station on the reverse, one of the most celebrated designs in Indian numismatic history. The obverse displays the Ashoka Lion Capital emblem with the RBI Governor’s signature — H.V.R. Iyengar, P.C. Bhattacharya, L.K. Jha, or S. Jagannathan — each a distinct collector’s variety. With its distinctive white strip and ornate design, this note is an increasingly scarce piece of Republic India’s financial heritage.
