One Ruppee - George VI 1942

1. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had declared the formation of Provisional Government of Free India (Azad Hind) at Singapore 78 years ago (1943). The Provisional Government proclaimed authority over Indian civilian and military personnel in southeast Asian British colonial territory and the prospective authority over Indian territory which would fall to the combined Japanese and Indian National Army forces during the thrust towards India.

   The government of Azad Hind had plans for its own currency, postage stamps, courts and a civil code. In the eyes of some Indians, its existence gave a greater importance to the independence struggle against the British.
