Indian Bank Notes
The Background 
Mr. Rezwan Razack has the best collection of Indian Paper Money in the world. Apart from collecting paper money he is also doing research on the subject. He wanted to share the valuable information through a book and constantly update new information and research through a website.
Challenge 
The book was selected to be titled “The Revised Standard Reference Guide to Indian Paper Money” following the information and layout style from its first edition released in 2000. But during the course of designing the book the authors decided to show the watermarks, security features and other information in an illustrative way. The biggest challenge was tracing the watermarks and security features which were never shown in any book; as such no reference was available either as illustration or description.
