Original ballot from the first free election in South Africa (Mandela won)

2 50 rand bills with Mandela on the front and a lion on the back.

In honor of #MandelaDay2024 I thought I'd share a couple of things:
Pic 1 - An authentic ballot from the first free election in South Africa.
Pic 2 - 2012 50 Rand bills. This is the first year that Mandela appeared on paper money.

I plan to have the ballot re-framed to include the paper bills.
