The whole pack of notes, preserved in mint condition, is up for auction and commands a starting bid of Rs.12,00,000 as it is very rare to find. Rajendra Maru, organizer of the exhibition and head of Marudhar Arts, says, “Our auction and exhibition allow me to serve the people of Hyderabad with a full pack of 100 notes. The packets of notes were never offered in any auction but for the people of Hyderabad, we had to offer something which is very unique and rare.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
