Recent dates use official daily reference rates: European Central Bank rates from 1999, and Federal Reserve daily spots where they were published, including the rand from 4 January 1971. Further back, daily market rates were not published the same way. Before the early 1970s many figures are official or yearly averages — under Bretton Woods, often pegs rather than a freely floating daily market. For those years Current(cy) shows the published yearly or monthly average and labels it as such. It never invents a daily rate for a year that only has an average.
