Comments

Zdjęcie na tym banknocie i podobnych banknotach przedstawia holenderskiego oficera Bartholomeusa Vermuydena z czasów angielskiej wojny domowej. Przez długi czas uważano, że zdjęcie, z którego pochodzi, przedstawia van Riebeecka. Dotyczy to portretu na wszystkich banknotach RPA z lat 1948-1994.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The picture on this note and the similar notes are of the Dutch officer Bartholomeus Vermuyden, from the English civil war. For a long time the picture the image was taken from, was mistankely thought to be of van Riebeeck. This applies to the portrait on all 1948 to 1994 South African Banknotes.
