By 1979, Rhodesia had been under UN sanctions for over a decade, forcing the government to develop domestic printing capacity rather than rely on established British security printers like Bradbury Wilkinson, which had produced earlier Rhodesian issues. Rhodesian Security Printing carried no imprint on the finished notes — a deliberate policy, since acknowledging a local printer would have underscored the sanctions-era improvisation and potentially flagged the notes to foreign scrutiny.
D.C. Krogh was Governor of the Reserve Bank from 1976 to 1981, overseeing currency production through the final years of the UDI regime and into the brief Zimbabwe Rhodesia transition. This note was issued just months before the Lancaster House Agreement ended the conflict entirely.
