We saw that the first bank note to be issued after the Independence was the one-rupee note with the symbol of the lion capital. Starting from 1951, inscriptions on notes were made in Hindi too.
The following years saw many changes in currencies. Various themes were adopted, including the advancement of the country in science and technology. Even in the latest banknotes that appeared recently, there was a new theme Mangalyan.
Many notes were introduced, and many were demonetized over the decades. In 1954, there were note of denomination including 1000, 5000, and 10,000. In 2010, the new currency symbol of rupee was introduced, that which we still use.
All these notes, if you look at carefully, have an inscription of ‘Satyamev Jayate’. This was an addition made in 1980.
In the latest banknotes issued in November 2016, there are a few more additions. The use of Devanagari numerals also marks a change from tradition.
