Ayron Senna Foundation

The Brazilian Ayrton Senna da Silva is an immortal legend of Formula 1®.

From 1984 until his tragic accident at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, he contested the Formula 1® Grand Prix 161 times, winning 41 of them and becoming world champion three times. He proved his driving ability particularly in the rain, so that today his nickname “The Magic” is still a household name among all Formula 1® fans.

He was voted the fastest Formula 1® driver in history three times in 2004, 2006 and 2009 by experts from Formula 1® drivers, team bosses, engineers and journalists.

In 1983 Senna became a Formula 1® test driver and made his debut a year later in an unforgettable, rain-heavy Montecarlo Grand Prix with Tolemann Motorsport, the weakest racing team in the Formula 1® World Championship at the time. Although he was positioned in the back part at the start of the Grand Prix, he got very close to the leading and then Formula 1® Vice World Champion Alain Prost when the race director declared the race to be over on lap 31 due to the heavy rain and cheers close before Senna was chosen as the winner.

The reopening of the Nürburgring in 1984, when Senna won against giants and world champions of Formula 1® such as Niki Lauda, ​​James Hunt, Alain Prost and Keke Rosberg, was also unforgettable.

After his death, his family set up the Instituto Ayrton Senna and Ayrton Senna Foundation charities to support children in need.

On the occasion of the Grand Prix of Montecarlo 2017 the Instituto Ayrton Senna and Rosland Gold presented the "Ayrton Senna Collection", which contains a collection of gold and silver coins as legal tender in a very limited edition in honor and in memory of one of the greatest athletes of all time .

All coins have a precious metal content of 99.99% and have been minted by the leading Swiss precious metal refinery PAMP in the highest quality.

Rosland Gold is honored and feels privileged to be able to be involved in the global marketing of this significant collection by the Senna Foundation. Part of the sales proceeds from this collection will go to the Senna Foundation. This 30 ounce gold coin, limited to just 6 pieces, was minted as a proof by the PAMP mint exclusively for Rosland. The first 3 pieces were bought on the first day.
