A brief annotation
The official coin commemorating the 20th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death. For many people, Ayrton Senna was the greatest racing driver who ever lived. After an illustrious 10-year-long Formula 1 career, 162 races, 41 wins and 610 career points, the talented Brazilian driver tragically lost his life at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Considered one of the greatest Formula 1 pilots, 20 years after his death, people still remember him with enthusiasm and passion.
