South Africa’s new commemorative banknote series is based on Louisenthal’s durable substrate
On July 18, 2018, to mark the occasion of Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) issued a commemorative banknote series with five denominations in total. Two of these, the 10-rand and 20-rand notes, were printed on Hybrid from Louisenthal, a cotton substrate coated on both sides with polyester foil.
