PMG Registry News

On July 19th, the Reserve Bank of India announced that it will release a new 100 Rupee note. Measuring 66mm x 142mm, or 2 inches by 5 inches, this primarily lavender note will be the latest in the colorful collection of yellow, green, blue and magenta Rupee currency.

The front depicts a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. The back of the note reflects an image of the historic stepwell in the state of Gujarat, RANI KI VAV (Queen’s stepwell.) This spectacular and historic site has been a water resource and storage system since the 3rd millennium B.C.

The RBI has new security features that include a security thread window with color shifting inscriptions and a colorized thread that changes from green to blue. Other elements are intaglio printing and a see-through register with the number 100, RBI, INDIA, and 100 in micro lettering.

The current 100 Rupee note will remain in circulation and will eventually be phased out and replaced with this new, smaller version.
