Commemorative coin celebrating Ferrari's victory in the 1976 Constructors' Championship, a year marked by one of the most dramatic and unforgettable rivalries in Formula 1 history. The season saw an intense battle between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, with Lauda demonstrating incredible resilience after a near-fatal accident.
With the Ferrari 312T2, Lauda dominated the early races with victories in Brazil, South Africa, Belgium, and Monaco, building up a comfortable lead in the championship. However, at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, he suffered a horrific accident that left him with severe burns and life-threatening injuries. Miraculously, just six weeks later, he made a heroic return to the Italian Grand Prix, finishing fourth and exceeding all expectations. The season was decided in the final race at Fuji, Japan, in torrential rain. Lauda, prioritizing safety, retired after only two laps, allowing Hunt to be crowned drivers' champion by a single point. Despite this, Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship, demonstrating its dominance in a season that tested both man and machine. Expertly crafted in titanium, this exclusive edition pays tribute to Ferrari's extraordinary achievements during a season that defined the spirit of racing. Specifications:
