When Nelson Mandela was finally released from prison after many years hard labour, he shocked the world. He came out in a suit and didn’t hate those who put him inside. Rather he realised that he could help his country go forward and regain its place in the world. He was a hero and loved and admired by not only his own countrymen but by people all over the world. There was a Crown issued for Mandela as part of the ‘Icons of the 20th Century’ series; we are able to offer this piece to add to your collection. Supplies are running out and I don’t know where or when we will be able to get any more. A true gentleman, someone who put his country before himself, and someone I admire. Add the Crown to your collection today.
