- The Libertad gold ounce draws inspiration from Mexico’s quest for independence and rich cultural narratives. Translating to “Liberty” in Spanish, the coin’s name echoes the nation’s values and historical struggles, serving as both a reminder of Mexico’s past and a symbol of its enduring spirit and resilience.
The obverse proudly displays the Coat of Arms of Mexico at its center, portraying a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, consuming a rattlesnake. Rooted in Aztec legend, this imagery symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. Surrounding the Coat of Arms are ten additional depictions, each representing various historical styles of the emblem. The legend “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS,” translating to “United Mexican States,” encircles the design, emphasizing the nation’s unity and identity.
On the reverse, the coin features the statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of Victory, from the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City. Holding a laurel wreath and a broken chain symbolizing freedom, this iconic statue stands against the backdrop of the majestic volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl. The inscription “1 ONZA ORO PURO LEY .999” signifies the coin’s purity and issuance year, while the “Mo” mint mark represents the Mexican Mint.
The Gold Libertads have been offered in several different coin sizes or “denominations”. The 1 oz Gold Libertad is the largest of the gold coins, with the 1/20th oz Gold Libertad being the smallest. The Mexican Libertad Gold And Silver Series is considered highly collectible due to the low mintage supply and increased demand over the last several years.
