A South African museum, Liliesleaf Museum Heritage Site, recently raised $130,000 via the auction of a non-fungible token created from an arrest warrant issued against Nelson Mandela in 1962.A non-fungible token minted from the former South African President Nelson Mandela’s warrant of arrest was recently auctioned for $130,000 , a report has said.
After holding the document for nearly 18 years, Liliesleaf Museum Heritage Site has again raised funds using an NFT which depicts an object once associated with South Africa’s freedom fighters. Before the latest auction, the heritage site had previously received about $50,000 after it auctioned an NFT of a pen gun that was owned by another South African freedom fighter, Oliver Tambo. In both instances, Momint — a South African NFT marketplace — handled the auctions.
Museum sites stay afloat. They have been badly affected by the lack of tourism due to Covid. So this is a way to revitalize their flow and keep history alive.
