10 Pula

Harrison and Sons had a long run producing Botswana's notes, and this 1992 issue continued that relationship through the third series. Harrison's intaglio work from this period is generally reliable, though the firm was already in decline by the early 1990s and would cease banknote printing altogether before the decade's end — absorbed into the broader consolidation reshaping the security printing industry at the time.

The pula itself was introduced in 1976, replacing the rand at par as Botswana severed its monetary ties to South Africa. Pick 12 belongs to a series that ran through much of the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the Bank of Botswana moved toward a substantially redesigned issue in 1994.
