About this banknote

The front of the note displays a portrait of Bartholomeus Vermuyden, previously misidentified as Jan van Riebeeck, on the left, with the Union Buildings in Pretoria at the center. The reverse features sailing ships approaching Table Mountain. The watermark is a portrait of Jan van Riebeeck.
