About this banknote
The South African Reserve Bank issued this 10 rand banknote in 1962, as part of the first series introduced in 1961 when South Africa transitioned from the pound to the rand currency. This series maintained design elements similar to the previous pound notes to facilitate the changeover.
The front of the note features a portrait of Jan van Riebeeck on the left, with an ox-drawn wagon and a quagga depicted below. The reverse displays a three-masted sailing ship. The watermark is a portrait of Jan van Riebeeck. The note measures 171 × 97 mm and was printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company in London.
