World-renowned civil rights leader (born 1918) who, in 1994, became the first black president of South Africa.

Mandela, 3-4-5.” Accompanied by an embossed African National Congress secretarially signed letter of transmittal. In fine condition, with a failed first attempt at signing leaving a faint impression of an “NM” to Mandela’s forehead. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
