The stunning Mexican Silver Libertad Coins were first introduced in 1982 and have been released in varied mintages each year, with some years having lower mintages that enhance their collectibility. Each coin is struck with 99.9% silver and is considered legal tender in Mexico. Although the coins have no face value, they are accepted as currency based on the market value of the silver content. 

Mexican Silver Libertads are produced in the oldest mint in the Americas, at La Casa de Moneda del México established in 1535. The obverse originally featured Mexico’s Coat of Arms with a Mexican gold eagle eating a rattlesnake while perched on a prickly pear cactus. In 2000, it was changed to a sculptural relief of the current Mexican coat of arms surrounded by ten historical versions. 

The reverse features two iconic symbols of Mexico: the winged Victoria of the Angel of Independence column in Mexico City in the foreground, and the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl in the background.
