The "Dated Reverse" designation in the catalog distinguishes this from the otherwise near-identical notes in the same series where the reverse carries no printed year — a small but cataloging-significant difference that catches out even experienced collectors. The absence of the rupee symbol is similarly a pre-2010 detail: the ₹ sign was officially adopted by the Government of India in July 2010, so notes from this period predate or straddle that change, depending on the printing run.
Pick 99 spans an unusually long issue window, and the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India facility at Nashik or Dewas handled production across multiple annual batches, making plate consistency variable across the series.
