Here now is the Osmania Princely State of Hydrabad 100 rupees note, 1332. Get it here now, while supplies last!!

The date 1332 is from the Islamic calender. It converts to the year from November 1913 to November 1914 on the modern calender. Many so-called experts cannot read numbers in Arabic (I can) and have given wrong dates for this note. The number "1332" is clearly written in Arabic on the bottom line left of center on the front page of the note.

Princely State of Hyderabad 100 rupees note 1332 CH UNC PS 266d , ND (1923), XF in Pick is $275 for XF. Pick does not give a value for CH UNC.

A beautiful note by Waterlow & Sons, unknown in CH UNC, Serial #91906, without staple holes as found on other India notes.

Pick says that this note was issued in 1923 and has no date. However, the date on the note in Arabic script is 1332. 1332 on the Islamic calendar coverts to 1913-1914 on the modern calendar. Therefore, this note appears to be ten years older than Pick says. Probably, the people at Pick could not read Arabic.
