Ex Rare George Vi One Rupee Burma Issue Note 1940 Year Governor CE Jones Fine Condition British of India 

Lowest Price 

This exceptional 1940 British India One Rupee banknote represents a significant piece of numismatic history from colonial India. Issued during the reign of King George VI, this note features the distinctive “BURMA CURRENCY BOARD” overprint, marking it as currency specifically authorized for circulation in Burma (now Myanmar). The note bears the authentic signature of Governor C.E. Jones, adding to its historical authenticity and appeal.

What makes this note particularly sought after is its rarity and fine condition. Burma overprint notes from this era are increasingly difficult to locate, especially in preserved states. The combination of the royal portrait, period-accurate typography, and the significant historical context—representing a unique moment when Burma operated under the British Indian monetary system—makes this a must-have for serious collectors of British colonial currency, Asian numismatics, and World War II-era memorabilia.

This note encapsulates a fascinating chapter in monetary history and serves as both a tangible artifact and a sound investment for collectors seeking authentic, rare currency with documented provenance.
