The Mexican Silver Libertad is one of the most admired silver bullion coins in the world. First issued in 1982, the coin is struck from 99.9% pure silver and produced annually in limited mintages – making some years especially desirable to collectors. Although the Libertad carries no face value, it is considered legal tender in Mexico and its market value is determined solely by its silver content.
These coins are minted by La Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest mint in the Americas, founded in 1535. The obverse originally depicted a single version of Mexico’s national emblem: a golden eagle devouring a rattlesnake atop a cactus. Since 2000, the design has evolved to include a sculptural relief of the current Mexican coat of arms surrounded by ten historical iterations – symbolizing the country’s rich and evolving identity.
The reverse showcases two iconic Mexican landmarks: Winged Victoria, the symbol of freedom from Mexico City’s Angel of Independence monument, and the majestic volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in the background.
