Early 1988, the Governor of the SA Reserve Bank, Hendrik de Kock commissioned a group of South African designers who became known as "Blue Sky", to design new bank notes for the country. The group comprised C Gay, K le Grange, E de Jong, and C Webb. The Brief was to remove any reference to SA's colonial past. Blue Sky researched bank notes from around the world to establish superior security features and to create new security features. The initial design proposals were dismisses as being "to modern". The second designs were approved immediately and development of the final security reproduction artwork began. The group were honored to have been chosen for this prestigious project and were commissioned to over see the final production with the South African Bank Note Printing Company.
