Commemorative coin celebrating Juan Manuel Fangio's fourth Formula 1 Drivers' Championship and Ferrari's triumph in the 1956 season. After Mercedes-Benz withdrew from Formula 1 at the end of 1955, Fangio joined Scuderia Ferrari, driving the Lancia-Ferrari D50. Throughout the season, Fangio secured victories in Argentina, Britain, and Germany, showcasing his exceptional driving skills and Ferrari's engineering excellence. A notable moment occurred at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, where teammate Peter Collins selflessly handed over his car to Fangio after the latter's vehicle suffered a mechanical failure, allowing Fangio to clinch the championship.
Expertly minted in titanium, this exclusive edition honors Ferrari's remarkable achievements during a season that solidified its status as a dominant force in Formula 1.
