Comments
(en) In 1957, India imposed strict foreign exchange controls. It became very important for the Reserve Bank of India to know and control the flow of Indian rupees being used outside India.A separate series of Indian banknotes was released for exclusive use in the Persian Gulf countries. In 1959 new notes were released into circulation (Rp. 1, 5, 10 & 100). The design of these notes was the same as the circulating Indian banknotes, but prefix letter "Z" was used and the colors changed.
