Every country in the world has its own currency, and these currencies change over time. In India, too, the designs of notes and coins have been changed several times. Old notes are no longer just a medium of exchange but have become part of collections for many people. Some old notes, in particular, are highly valued by collectors. Among these is the old 10 Rupee note with the peacock design, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent years.

Why is the 10 Rupee note with the peacock design in the news?

Some old 10 Rupee notes had a peacock design on the back. This design is considered a symbol of Indian culture and art. Such notes are now rarely seen in general circulation, which is why collectors seek them out. In many cases, the value of these notes is determined by their condition, year of issue, serial number, and rarity.

Collectors particularly value notes in good condition and with unique serial numbers. If the note is brand new or unfolded, its value can be higher than usual.

Serial Number and Signature Increase Value

In the world of collecting, notes with fancy or special serial numbers are highly sought after. For example, many people consider numbers like 786 to be auspicious, so the demand for notes with such numbers increases. In some cases, such notes have sold for thousands of rupees at auctions or in the collector’s market, but this price is not fixed for every note.

According to some reports, notes with special serial numbers and in good condition have sold for Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 22,000 or even more at auctions. However, this entirely depends on the rarity and the buyer’s demand.

Not every old note is expensive

Not every old 10 Rupee note needs to sell for thousands. A note that has been in general circulation often sells for its face value or slightly more. Generally, the collector’s value depends on the note’s condition, serial number, printing errors, or whether it’s a limited edition. Some old and rare historical banknotes have sold for millions at auction, but these were very old notes of historical significance, not those in general circulation.

The trend of buying and selling on online platforms

Nowadays, many people try to sell old banknotes on collector markets or online platforms. However, it is essential to understand the rules and legality before selling any currency. On many platforms, people buy old banknotes as collector’s items, but this depends entirely on demand and genuine rarity.
