This note was issued specifically to mark the centenary of Gandhi's birth — 2 October 1969 — making it one of the few commemorative issues in Reserve Bank of India history to appear as a circulating denomination rather than a collector's item. The decision to use the 5-rupee note, then a workhorse of everyday commerce, gave the issue genuine reach across the economy.
Two signature varieties exist: L. K. Jha, who was RBI Governor at the time of the centenary, and B. N. Adarkar, who served only briefly as Officer-in-Charge in 1970 — making his signed notes appreciably harder to find.
