Pretty artistic designs are seen on this Photographic Face Proof that was created for approval for the Government of India. Ultimately, this design was not used.

1917年印度政府5盧比，正面相片試樣票。PCGS Banknote Choice UNC 63。
華美得體的設計在這張相片試樣票上一目了然，以便獲得印度政府批准採納，然而此設計最終並未使用。這張碩果僅存的設計產物即使不是孤品亦極為稀罕。背面曾被貼於硬卡上以作加固。是日拍賣將呈獻一組未被採納的原型鈔票，此為當中一員。
