People around the world collect different currencies. Some collect out of their sheer interest, while others pick out the valuables from the pile. It's mostly something historically distinctive about the coins and currency that raises their value in the market and amongst collectors.??
One such note has been deemed valuable and has special significance in Britain. The note in question is a 1000 rupee note with serial number AH17 75.? Now, you are probably wondering why this random number could make a 1000 Rupee note worth 3 Lakhs in the market.
The reason behind the surge in the value of the note is the famous late author Jane Austen.?Dailystar reported that the specific number of the note is likely to raise the monetary worth of the note. The note holds such value because it contains the birth and death years of the English?author. The author is most famous for her novel ¡®Pride And Prejudice¡¯ along with five other major works that are considered important in the literary space.
Austen was born in 1775 and passed away in 1817. So, the Brits have put up quite a price for the note AH17 75, as the letters stand for the initial numbers of her death year while the latter numbers denote her birth year. As a result, the demand for the note has recently increased, raising the price to a whopping 3.5 lakhs.
While this?Austen note is being looked for in Britain, the price of coins from Kew Gardens and the London Olympics 2012 are also still in demand by the collecting community. This might sound absurd to some, but the collectors' community has been into some weird stuff for a while now. From?Pokemon cards to pennies, everything has a price if you look for the right buyer. Just some years ago, in 2011, a 20-pence copper coin was sold for outrageous prices when it was not even expected to have been sold.
