What decides the value

  • Condition / grade — an uncirculated piece can be worth many times a folded, circulated one.
  • Serial number — 786, solid numbers, low numbers, radars and birthday dates carry a large premium.
  • Signature & series — some governor signatures and series are far scarcer than others.
  • Year & mint mark — for coins, a single year or mint can change the price completely.
  • Errors — genuine minting or printing errors are rare and sought after.

Common questions

What is a 500 Rupee Note worth?

Half of them sell for between ₹150 and ₹1,500 on CoinBazzar. The median is ₹800. That comes from 3,300 completed sales over the last 24 months. It is real sale data, not an estimate.

Does a 500 Rupee Note really sell for lakhs?

Almost never. Nine out of ten sold for under ₹5,000. The highest we have ever recorded is ₹500,000, and that was one exceptional piece, not what an ordinary one fetches. Compare any figure you see in a video against the median of ₹800.

Why is the price range so wide?

Because condition and the serial number decide most of it. The cheapest quarter sold under ₹150. The top tenth sold above ₹5,000. It is the same item. What changes is what is printed on it and how well it survived.

How many 500 Rupee Note listings are on CoinBazzar right now?

1,311 are listed today, starting at ₹82.
