500 Rupees & 1000 Rupees Year 2005 “R” Inset Signs Y.V Reddy Pair 2 Notes **Rare** High Collectable AUNC Grades corners damaged.

This exceptional pair of Indian currency notes from 2005 features both the 500 and 1000 Rupee denominations, each bearing the signature of Y.V. Reddy, the Reserve Bank of India’s Governor during that period. Graded in Almost Uncirculated condition, these notes represent a significant moment in Indian numismatic history. The “R” inset sign denotes the printing location, adding to their authenticity and collectibility. While corners show minor damage consistent with age and handling, the overall preservation remains impressive for notes nearly two decades old. Y.V. Reddy’s tenure (2003-2008) marked important monetary policy decisions, making his signature highly sought after by serious collectors. This rare pairing is ideal for those building comprehensive RBI signature collections or Indian currency portfolios. The scarcity of high-grade paired denominations from this era makes this a worthwhile acquisition for numismatists seeking both historical significance and investment potential.
