The National Bank of South Africa Ltd. was a commercial bank, not a central bank — it operated under private charter and issued its own notes, a common arrangement in South Africa before the Reserve Bank was established in 1921. This note was issued in the final year before that transition effectively ended the era of private bank currency in the country. The National Bank itself was eventually absorbed into Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) in 1926.
Waterlow & Sons produced high-quality intaglio work throughout the British colonial banking world and held several South African printing contracts during this period. High-denomination private bank issues from this moment of institutional changeover survive in comparatively small numbers.
