This ₹2 Half Tiger Note is a rare and historically significant collectible for enthusiasts of Indian currency notes and vintage banknotes. Known as the 4th issue of ₹2 notes, this iconic design was officially released on 22nd July 1957, making it an important part of India’s early post-independence currency history.
The note carries the signature of H.V.R. Iyengar, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, whose signed issues are highly valued among collectors focusing on RBI signature varieties and historical Indian currency.
Popularly referred to as the “Half Tiger” issue, this note is admired for its classic vintage design and strong numismatic importance. Early ₹2 issues from the 1950s are increasingly difficult to source, especially in collectible condition, making them highly desirable among serious collectors.
