Pick 130 spans a signature transition: Tito Mboweni's term as Governor ended in 2009, replaced by Gill Marcus, making notes from this period exist in two distinct signature varieties that catalogers sometimes conflate under a single Pick number. The Mboweni-signed examples are the more common of the two.

This issue belongs to the fourth definitive series, introduced following the phasing out of the third series notes — a changeover driven partly by escalating counterfeiting of the older design rather than any scheduled replacement cycle.
