New Re 1 currency note |
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will soon introduce currency notes of one rupee denomination. The notes, which have already been printed by the Government of India, are legal tender under the Coinage Act, 2011. The existing currency notes in this denomination in circulation will also continue to be legal tender. The new note will have an overall colour scheme of pink and green on the obverse and reverse, in combination with other colours. The note will have the bilingual signature of Shaktikanta Das, Secretary, Ministry of Finance. It will contain the words Government of India` and `भारत सरकार` and have the replica of the new one rupee coin with the `₹` symbol of 2017. `सत्यमेव जयते`, the words printed on all of India’s currency notes, will be featured as well. The surrounding design of the note consists of a picture of `Sagar Samrat`, the oil exploration platform in Maharashtra. An inset letter in capitals, `L` will also be printed on the note. Apart from this, the Ashoka Pillar, a hidden number `1` and the hidden word `भारत` will be printed on the note.
