| Comments |
By 1976, Rhodesia's international isolation had reached a point where the government was effectively operating on borrowed time — and borrowed currency architecture. Thomas De La Rue continued printing for the regime from London even as the UK maintained sanctions, a quiet commercial arrangement that outlasted most diplomatic ones. The notes entered circulation during the final years of the Bush War, when the Rhodesian dollar was still technically pegged but confidence in the currency was eroding fast.
Krogh's signature is the more historically loaded of the two — he served as governor under Smith's government and later, after Zimbabwe's independence, continued briefly under the transitional administration before the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe was established in 1980.
