Historical Note:
The 10 Shillings note was one of the most common low-denomination notes used in South Africa before decimalisation. Issued by the South African Reserve Bank in Pretoria, these notes carry strong historical value as part of South Africas monetary evolution from pounds, shillings, and pence to Rand in 1961.
