History

CRITICAL NOTE: These two images are NOT from the same banknote. The front image shows a Zimbabwe 2 Dollars note from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe's post-2019 RTGS dollar series, while the back image shows a South African 10 Rand note from the South African Reserve Bank's 'Big Five' series introduced in 2012. The Zimbabwe note features local landmarks while the South African note features indigenous wildlife. These are mismatched images from two completely different countries' currencies.
