| Additional information |
The Allahabad High Court, established in 1866 under the High Courts Act of 1861, is one of the oldest high courts in India and has jurisdiction over Uttar Pradesh — the most populous state in the country. The 150-rupee denomination itself is the curiosity here: India has issued commemorative coins in unconventional face values tied directly to anniversary numbers, a practice the Reserve Bank leaned into heavily during the 2010s, producing a string of legally tender but entirely non-circulating pieces in denominations that exist nowhere else in the monetary system.
