One Rupee 1972 I G Patel A-26 D Inset Bundle

This is a serial-wise bundle of 1 rupee Indian banknotes issued in 1972, signed by I. G. Patel as Secretary, Ministry of Finance. These notes feature the rare “A-26 D” inset, meaning the watermark window shows the letter “D.” The obverse displays the denomination in Hindi and English, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, and I. G. Patel’s signature, printed in purple and green hues. The reverse side highlights the large wheat-head 1 Rupee coin motif and value in multiple regional languages, representing typical Government of India note design of that period. The bundle, with its original stitching and consistent serial numbers, is highly collectible—especially for those focusing on pre-1975 Indian currency and inset variants of 1 rupee notes.
