Rs 1 Rim Telescopic 888001 with Solid No All 888888 fin sec Subhash Garg Hard To Find

Rs. 1 Telescopic Rim — Sequential Bundle Starting 888001, with Rare Solid Number 888888

An absolute showstopper for the discerning collector — this listing features a sequential bundle of Rs. 1 Telescopic Rim notes starting from 888001, signed by Finance Secretary Subhash Garg, and containing the legendary Solid Fancy Number 888888 — one of the most coveted notes in all of Indian numismatics.

Why This Is Exceptionally Rare

• Solid Fancy Number — 888888: A solid number note features the same digit repeated across all positions. 888888 is considered among the most auspicious and valuable solid numbers in Indian currency collecting — the digit 8 is universally associated with prosperity, luck, and infinity. This note alone commands a significant premium.
• Telescopic Rim Design: The Rs. 1 Telescopic Rim is a transitional and short-lived design variant, produced in limited quantities. Finding one in a sequential bundle is extraordinarily rare.
• Sequential Bundle from 888001: The bundle begins at 888001, placing the solid 888888 naturally within the run — making this an organically intact sequential set, not assembled artificially.
• Finance Secretary Subhash Garg Signature: Rs. 1 notes are signed by the Finance Secretary (not the RBI Governor), and Subhash Garg’s tenure was notably brief — making his signed notes scarcer and more collectible.
• UNC Condition: Uncirculated, crisp, and mint-fresh — no folds, no wear, preserved in original unhandled quality.

Collector's Note

The combination of a Solid 888888 within a Telescopic Rim sequential bundle signed by Finance Secretary Subhash Garg is a once-in-a-lifetime find. Each element individually is hard to source — together, they form a piece that belongs in the finest Indian numismatic collections. Truly hard to find, harder to replace.
