Commemorative coin celebrating Ferrari's Constructors' Championship victory in the 1976 season, 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, where Lauda demonstrated incredible resilience after a near-fatal accident.
Driving the Ferrari 312T2, Lauda dominated the early races with victories in Brazil, South Africa, Belgium, and Monaco, building a commanding lead in the championship. However, at the German Grand Prix in Nürburgring, he suffered a horrific crash that left him with severe burns and life-threatening injuries. Miraculously, just six weeks later, he made a heroic return at the Italian Grand Prix, finishing fourth and defying all expectations.
The season came down to the final race in Fuji, Japan, under torrential rain. Lauda, prioritizing safety, retired after just two laps, allowing Hunt to claim the Drivers’ Championship by a single point. Despite this, Ferrari secured the Constructors' Championship, proving their dominance in a season that tested both man and machine.
Expertly minted in titanium, this exclusive edition honors Ferrari’s remarkable achievements during a season that defined the spirit of racing.
