A prized piece of Indian monetary history — the Republic of India ₹5 Diamond Issue bearing the signature of P. C. Bhattacharya, one of the most celebrated Governors of the Reserve Bank of India (1962–1967). This early series note is among the most sought-after by serious Indian banknote collectors.

P. C. Bhattacharya’s tenure as RBI Governor is remembered as a defining era in Indian monetary policy.

The Diamond Issue design itself — with its distinctive geometric motifs — represents a unique chapter in the evolution of Indian paper currency.

A must-have for any serious numismatist or collector of vintage Indian banknotes.
