| Anmerkungen |
The Government of India's early rupee notes were issued under the Paper Currency Act of 1861, but this particular piece belongs to a much later refinement of that system — one where the colonial administration had finally settled on a consistent format after decades of regional variation. The 1904–1905 series is scarce in any condition; circulation in British India was hard on paper currency, and the climate did the rest.
Two different signatories across a single year of issue is worth noting. Atkinson and Brereton were both Controllers of the Currency, and the changeover between them mid-series is why the same Pick number covers both signatures — they are distinct collecting varieties, not interchangeable.
