Rs 10 Telescopic RIM 1000 Note 000001 Year 2025 Lower Number Gov Sanjay Malhotra

Rs. 10 Telescopic Rim — Sequential Bundle of 1000 Notes Starting 000001 | Year 2025 | Governor Sanjay Malhotra

A landmark collector's piece for the modern era — this listing features a complete sequential bundle of 1000 notes from the Rs. 10 Telescopic Rim series, Year 2025, starting from the prized lower number 000001, signed by the newly appointed Governor Sanjay Malhotra, in UNC (Uncirculated) condition.

Why This Bundle Is a Must-Have

• 000001 — The First Note of the Run: The bundle begins at 000001 — the lowest possible serial number in any prefix. Owning the very first note of a new governor’s prefix run is the ultimate prize in lower number collecting. This is as rare as it gets.
• Governor Sanjay Malhotra — Fresh Issue: Sanjay Malhotra assumed charge as RBI Governor in December 2024, making 2025 the first full year of his tenure. Notes signed by a new governor in their inaugural year are historically among the most collected — early issues are always the scarcest.
• Year 2025 — First Year Issue: The 2025 print year adds a further layer of significance — first-year notes of any governor’s tenure are produced in limited initial quantities before full-scale printing ramps up, making early bundles particularly hard to source intact.
• Telescopic Rim Series: A transitional and short-lived design variant, the Telescopic Rim is already a scarce series. A 000001-starting bundle in this series from a new governor’s first year is a genuinely once-in-a-generation find.
• Sequential Bundle of 1000: All 1000 notes run in an unbroken sequence from 000001 — the gold standard of currency collecting, and extraordinarily rare to source intact for a new governor’s inaugural issue.
• UNC Condition: Uncirculated, crisp, and mint-fresh — no folds, no creases, no handling marks whatsoever.

Collector's Note

The convergence of 000001 lower number, Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s first year (2025), and the Telescopic Rim series in a complete sequential bundle of 1000 UNC notes is a combination that may never be replicated. History shows that inaugural-year notes of new RBI governors appreciate significantly over time — and a 000001-starting bundle is the crown jewel of that category. An extraordinary acquisition for the serious collector or investor.
