100 Rupee Dam Issue Note — Value & Where to Buy

The 100 Rupee "white stripes" Dam Issue is one of India's classic older banknote types, known to collectors as the "Dam" issue after the dam design associated with it. This offering is a set of four notes, each carrying a different governor's signature from the years the note was in issue.

Collectors seek a matched signature set because assembling several governor varieties of a single design in one lot is harder than finding a single note. Each signature marks a distinct period of issue, so a run of them tells the story of the note across its lifetime.

Value on any Dam Issue note depends heavily on grade, paper quality and which signature you hold, so two notes of the same design can sit far apart in price. Coinbazzar lists verified pieces so you can inspect the condition before buying the set featured in the video.

FAQ

How much is a 100 Rupee Dam Issue note worth?

It varies with grade, paper quality and which governor's signature the note carries; a set of several signatures generally commands more than a single note. See the live listing on this page for the current price of the verified set.

Is the 100 Rupee Dam Issue note rare?

The Dam Issue is a genuinely older, collected type, and a matched set of signatures is harder to assemble than any single note. Higher-grade, cleanly preserved examples are the ones collectors chase.
