The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the South African Reserve Bank series of South Africa in the World Currency contains 318 distinct entries with CPG® values between $1.00 and $3,200.00.
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) opened for business on 30 June 1921, and issued its first banknotes on 19 April 1922. Liability for the notes of other South African banking institutions was assumed by SARB in June 1924.
Initially the banknotes issued by the SARB were printed in the United Kingdom. In 1958, it was decided that notes would be printed domestically, so Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company (BWC) and the SARB established the South African Bank Note Company (SABN) as a joint venture. Domestic production of banknotes commenced in 1961 when South Africa adopted a decimal currency. Eventually the bank took over BWC’s shares in SABN, and it began printing notes for neighboring countries.
