20242024 Mexico 1 Onza Plata Pura Libertad

The Mexican Libertad is Mexico's official bullion coin, minted by the Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest mint in the Americas established in 1535. First introduced in gold in 1981 and in silver in 1982, the Libertad series is renowned for its striking beauty and limited mintage compared to other major world bullion programs. The design of the Winged Victory is inspired by the Independence Monument (El Ángel de la Independencia) located in Mexico City, a powerful symbol of Mexican freedom and sovereignty. Unlike many standard bullion coins, the Libertad does not carry a face value; instead, its legal tender status is defined in terms of its market value in Mexican pesos, tied directly to the spot price of silver. The reverse features the iconic Winged Victory framed by the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, referencing the romantic Aztec legend of the two lovers. The obverse features the current National Shield of Mexico surrounded by historical coats of arms used throughout Mexican history, making it a favorite among collectors and investors alike.
