<\/p>\n

The tributes to Ayrton Senna around the world take place in several ways and one that usually draws the attention of collectors are the coins. Let’s see some of them:<\/p>\n

Coins released in Monaco<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the Monaco Grand Prix of 2017, Rosland Capital, a leading company in precious metals, launch\u00a0 a collection<\/p>\n

of coins to celebrate Senna\u00b4s historic first win at the Monte Carlo F-1 Circuit. Designed in collaboration with the Ayrton Senna Institute, the limited edition collection includes six 30 oz gold coins, 180 2.5 oz gold coins and 300 2.5 oz silver coins. The coins are minted by Swiss-based PAMP S.A. and feature an unmistakable image of Senna. A portion of the proceeds will directly benefit the foundation.<\/p>\n

Its last release was 2990 coins limited to 7 grams.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

October 13 is National Money Day in Brazil, so let\u2019s take a look at some of the times Ayrton Senna\u2019s likeness was featured on currency \u2013 a different way of honoring the three-time F1 World Champion.<\/p>\n

2 Reais\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike most 2-Real coins, this one was very much, well, real. It was minted by the Brazilian Central bank in 1995 in honor of Ayrton Senna\u2019s career. On one side, the silver-plated coin features the driver\u2019s profile \u2013 identified by the horizontal stripes on his iconic helmet \u2013 onboard of his race car and some of Ayton\u2019s stats (victories, GPs and pole-positions). On the other side, there\u2019s a portrait of a smiling Senna wearing his racing suit, and a reference to his three world titles.<\/p>\n

20 Reais<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also in 1995, the Central Bank released a gold-plated coin in honor of the driver. On one side, two tracks where Senna made history \u2013 Interlagos and Monaco. On the other, the same portrait used in the 2-Real coin, but now with the place and the year the coin was minted (Brazil 1995). Just like in the previous coin, its reverse also features a Brazilian flag mixed with a checkered flag.<\/p>\n

10 Liberian Dollars<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ayrton Senna was also featured on a 10-Liberian-dollar coin. The tails side displays the African country\u2019s coat of arms. The heads side depicts Ayrton Senna wearing his Banco Nacional cap, his 1994 Williams, the Brazilian flag and his helmet. The coin also features the year of the diver\u2019s birth and the year his F1 career came to an end.<\/p>\n

100 Liberian Dollars<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also minted in 1996, this coin differs from the 10-Liberian-dollar one because of its gold planting and its denomination: it\u2019s worth ten times as much. Not to mention it\u2019s certainly the shiniest of all the coins produced in honor of the three-time champion.<\/p>\n

5 euros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the driver\u2019s legacy, designers Marcio Petta and Antonello Napolione created a special \u20ac5 coin, featuring Ayrton Senna\u2019s likeness and the FW16 Williams \u2013 the last car driven by the Brazilian in F1. The Autonomous Agency of Philately and Numismatics of San Marino was in charge of the minting itself.<\/p>\n

25 euros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A limited edition of coins celebrating great F1 idols was released in 1997. Ayrton Senna and his three world titles were depicted on the coin\u2019s obverse, while its reverse shows the 25-Euro value, alongside the FIA (International Automobile Federation) logo.<\/p>\n

Full-color coin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only full-color coin featuring Ayrton Senna was created in 2014 by Brazilian designer Renato Saes. It has a denomination of 2 New Zealand Dollars and was minted by the French company Art Mint, which specializes in manufacturing coins. One of its sides depicts Senna\u2019s likeness while the other brings the profile of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, who is New Zealand\u2019s head of state.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
