About this banknote
The South African Reserve Bank issued the 1 rand banknote (Pick 102b) between 1962 and 1965. This series was introduced following the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1961, which marked the country's transition from the South African pound to the rand at a rate of 2 rand to 1 pound.
The front of the banknote features a rust-brown portrait of Bartholomeus Vermuyden on a multicolor underprint, with the first line of the bank's name and the denomination in English. The watermark also depicts Bartholomeus Vermuyden. This variant, designated as Pick 102b, bears the signature of G. Rissik, who served as Governor of the South African Reserve Bank from 1962 to 1967.
