DETAILS:
Obverse: Portrait of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, South Africa's first democratically elected president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The South African Reserve Bank name appears in all 11 official languages of South Africa. Security features include a colour-shifting SPARK® numeral, a windowed security thread with the SARB logo, and a watermark portrait of Mandela.
Reverse: A pair of White Rhinoceros — one of the iconic "Big Five" animals of the African savanna and among the most endangered large mammals on Earth. The blue-green tones of the 10 Rand note beautifully complement the natural landscape. The protea flower, South Africa's national flower, appears as part of the decorative design elements.
This 2023-dated B777a is part of the updated Mandela "Big Five" series issued by the South African Reserve Bank. The White Rhinoceros is a particularly powerful topical choice — a species under severe poaching pressure, making this note both beautiful and historically significant. A must-have for collectors of African banknotes, wildlife themes, or notes featuring world leaders. Pairs beautifully with the 20 Rand B778a Elephant note from the same series.
