According to Momint, the hosts of the NFT auction, some of the proceeds of the sale will be going to Liliesleaf Farm and Museum, a national heritage site in South Africa. The original 1961 Warrant of Arrest for Nelson Mandela, specially minted 61 years after it was first issued was the most anticipated piece of the auction.
While the warrant NFT was the most anticipated piece of the auction, the highest bid of the night went to a Bored Ape token – titled “Hugh Apener” – which sold for $287K , with a second Bored Ape token selling for $68.4K afterward.
