Comment
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (born Rolihlahla Mandela; 18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid activist, politician, and statesman who served as the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by fostering racial reconciliation. Ideologically an African nationalist and socialist, he served as the president of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997.
Interesting fact
The Nelson Mandela $1 coin from Liberia, issued in 1994, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. Instead of "Liberia" being spelled correctly, it is misspelled as "Liberiaa". This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
