Description

Mahatma Gandhi 500 rupees banknote Pop Art Warhol style

The 500 banknote denomination was first introduced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in October 1987 in order to contain the increasing number of banknotes in circulation, due to inflation.
The note prominently featured the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi instead of the Emblem of India, the Lion Capital of Sarnath. The popularity of this design led to the eventual redesign of the motifs of other Indian banknotes and the introduction of the first Mahatma Gandhi Series banknotes.
It has the Braille feature to assist the visually challenged in identifying the currency. The reverse side features the Salt March.
As like the other Indian rupee banknotes, the 500 banknote has its amount written in 17 languages. On the obverse, the denomination is written in English and Hindi. On the reverse is a language panel which displays the denomination of the note in 15 of the 22 official languages of India.

On November 8, 2016, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetization of the 500 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series as a measure to fight corruption in India and address the issue of counterfeit banknotes.
On November 10, 2016, the previous banknote was replaced by a new 500 banknote of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series of banknotes.
