One Rupee Note of 1957 L K Jha Signature Old Note

This is an authentic 1 Rupee banknote of 1957 issued by the Government of India, featuring the signature of L. K. Jha, who served as Finance Secretary during the late 1950s.

The 1957 series is historically significant as it belongs to the early decimalisation period (Naya Paisa era) of Indian currency. Like all ₹1 notes, it is issued directly by the Government of India, making it a unique and important collectible compared to RBI-issued notes.

The note showcases a classic purple/violet color scheme with intricate ornamental borders and traditional design elements.
