10 French francs "100th anniversary of the birth of Roland Garros" 1988 @Mint_UA
@coins, @Notes of numismat, @numizmatika
Roland Garros was born on October 6, 1888 in Saint-Denis. An 11-year-old teenager is sent to study in France - from this moment he will lead an almost independent life.
In Paris, Garros saw an airplane for the first time, after which he was no longer interested in a career as a businessman. In 1909, Garros managed to persuade the famous pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont to teach him to fly. A year later, he received his pilot's license and soon became one of the
the best aviators of France.
