The "Bank van Suid-Afrika" is not the South African Reserve Bank — it is a private entity with no legal authority to issue currency in South Africa. Notes like this one are fantasy pieces, produced outside any central bank mandate and carrying no legal tender status anywhere. The Springbok branding and Afrikaans nomenclature are calculated to suggest official legitimacy to the uninformed buyer.
Franck Medina is a French designer associated with novelty and fantasy note production. The watermark feature on a piece like this is decorative, not a security measure in any regulatory sense.
