This post might be disliked by many of the visitors here because this blog has been all about comics, but now I have decided to post non-comics related post here too.
Hope you friends will support the initiative, and I promise that it will not replace the original motif of the blog - our beloved comics.
In 1969 on the occasion of birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi ji - Gandhi Commemoration issues of all the running denomination (Rs. 1, 2, 5,10, 100) were released in India. By that time Rs. 20 & Rs. 50 were not started.
Here is a sneak peak of those issues.
Note - Images are meant for information purposes only.
I'll tell you what these denominations meant to me, in 1982.
ReplyDelete1) A bal pocket book, don't remember the publisher but the format was almost square sized.
2) Latest issue of Indrajal Comics + a creamy pastry. Also Sometimes a bottle of my favourite 'Gold Spot' soft drink.
3) Three issues of Rajan Ikbal pocket books by S.C. Bedi. Rs 1.50 was the regular price but one or two issues in each set were priced Rs 2.
4) Three issues of Diamond Comics in various combinations. ankur costed Rs 3 while others were Rs 3.50.
5) Full course books for the year plus required stationary.
Anupam Bhai very nice,informative and a welcome off-topic post which in my opinion one should post occasionally to add variety and colors in blog.The sight of these notes seen and felt in childhood brings back those soothing memory associated with these notes.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to bring more such posts in future.
