This TV ad by The Jupiter Drawing Room with animation, illustration and direction by Am I Collective introduces the beautiful new Nelson Mandela banknotes that the South African Reserve Bank will bring into circulation before the end of the year.
The banknotes each feature a key moment in Madiba’s life etched onto the paper. The illustrations in the TVC were made to interpret these scenes.

@Zulus Can Draw, as far as I know the big five are still on one side of each bank note.
Love it!

I still love the big five notes! I love them !!
States with people’s pictures on their bank notes usually have serious power issues maybe that’s why I am fond of the big five!!!
So cool, I love it!
