About this banknote

The 10 Rand banknote was issued by the South African Reserve Bank in 1961, part of the country's transition from the pound to the rand currency following the establishment of the Republic of South Africa on May 31, 1961. This series was significant as it marked the first release of rand-denominated notes following this transition.

The front of the note features a portrait of Jan van Riebeeck to the left, with the bank name and value displayed in English. The back showcases a sailing ship, with Jan van Riebeeck's watermark incorporated into the design. This banknote, cataloged as Pick 106, was printed by St Luke's Printing Works (Bank of England) and measures 170 x 97 mm.
