Banknotes – India. Bank of Bengal: 10-Companys Rupees, 13 April 1857 (date very faded), Calcutta, no.8467, signed lower centre (part missing), “TEN” below, intricate design to left, vignette of female figure representing Commerce top centre, detailed border around all, rev “TEN RUPEES” and text in three languages (see Jhun 3.8.1). Good fine, the paper dark brown with many areas of weakness and a number of holes or cracks, edge rather ragged, lower right corner torn off as if crudely cancelled.
