It was issued on 24th July 1940. The Obverse of this note depicts English legend ‘Government Of India' above; language panel on the left; Image of the obverse side of a silver coin depicting the portrait of King George V in front of 'Rupee' (used for the first time) placed in the right-hand corner; 'One/Rupee' in the central denomination panel; A large '1' next to the language panel in white; No promise text; Signed by the 'Controller of Currency'.
The reverse side of this note depicts a stylized GRI in the center; Serial number in the lower-left area; Reverse of 1935 coin in the top left area.
