Commemorative coin celebrating John Surtees' Formula 1 Drivers' Championship and Ferrari's victory in the 1964 Constructors' Championship. Surtees made history by becoming the only driver to win both Formula 1 and motorcycle World Championships, cementing his status as one of the most versatile drivers of all time.
At the wheel of the powerful Ferrari 158 F1, Surtees scored crucial victories in Germany and Italy, demonstrating the car's reliability and performance. Ferrari also made a bold political statement that year: due to a dispute with the Italian racing authorities, the team raced the last two races under the North American Racing Team (NART) banner, swapping its traditional Rosso Corsa red for a striking blue and white livery.
After an intense battle against Graham Hill and Jim Clark, Surtees secured the championship in the final race of the season in Mexico, marking another milestone in Ferrari's rich legacy.
Expertly minted in titanium, this exclusive edition celebrates Ferrari's ingenuity and Surtees' extraordinary achievement in one of the most politically charged and competitive seasons in Formula 1 history.
