Water mark on south African rand?
There is no watermark on the current South African Rand, as 1 Rand is a coin. About 20 years ago there was a brown 1 Rand note, no longer in circulation. If memory serves me correctly it had a picture of Jan van Riebeek on, and the watermark was the same image

When was the Rand money System introduced in South Africa?
Rand money was introduced with the end of links to the British Empire. South Africa became a republic in 1961, and introduced its own currency at that time. The Rand is a decimal currency, unlike the Pound at that time which used historical subdivisions of 12 pennies to a shilling and 20 shillings to a Pound. The UK Queens's head was replaced on currency with the head of Jan van Riebeeck, an otherwise undistinguished Dutch civil servant who founded the Dutch colony in the Cape of Good Hope. More recently South African currency has the heads of the BIG FIVE game animals, sensibly making the banknotes non-political. The Rand was initially similar in value to the ten shilling note, or two Rand to one Pound, but has since drifted to the region of twelve or thirteen Rand to one Pound.
My South African 1975 proof coin set do not have the gold coins Were the gold coins minted and where can you get hold of them?
There were 1 Rand and 2 Rand coins minted in gold in 1975, and some were produced for proof sets. South Africa in 1975 sold three different proof sets: an 8-coin set (1/2 cent, 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cent and 1 rand [silver]); a 2-coin set (the two gold coins); and a 10-coin set (all of the above). I would suggest looking on eBay (the KM numbers are KM#63 for the 1 Rand and KM#64 for the 2 Rand).
