I got this as an email. And it sent me on this fascinating journey into history - from the introduction of paper notes in British India to modern day currency as we know it.
The first set of British India notes were the 'Victoria Portrait' Series issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000. These were unifaced, carried two language panels and were printed on hand-moulded paper manufactured at the Laverstock Paper Mills (Portals). The security features incorporated the watermark (GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, RUPEES, two signatures and wavy lines), the printed signature and the registration of the notes. 
Here is the link. Enjoy the ride.
