The Mexican Silver Libertad is the official silver bullion coin of the nation of Mexico, and is released on an annual basis by the Mexican Mint and Banco de Mexico. Unlike its neighboring mints in Canada and the United States, the Mexican Mint produces low numbers of Silver Libertads, helping drive popularity and demand for these coins. Today, the 2015 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coin is available in near-perfect condition through JM Bullion.

Mexico’s long war for independence from Spain was launched in 1820. One hundred years later as the nation celebrated the centennial of the war’s start, the Mexican Mint released a coin known as the gold Centenario. The coin featured iconic Mexican symbols born of the conflict, and was released annually through 1949.
Today, the Mexican Mint releases the Mexican Silver and Gold Libertad as the official bullion coins of the nation. Silver Libertad coins are available in bullion, proof, and proof-like versions, with a total of 7 weights available in bullion.
All 2015 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad coins available here today are in near-perfect condition according to the NGC. Coins with an MS69 grade have their full, original mint luster, but also have a maximum of two minor detracting flaws.
On the obverse is the image of the Angel of Independence, as featured on the victory column in the center of Mexico City. The iconic image of Winged Victory was created during the war for independence, and erected in Mexico City in 1920.
The reverse features the Mexican coat of arms in several different versions. In the center of the design is the modern depiction of the seal, while 10 historic versions encircle it around the outer rim of the coin.
The Mexican Mint is the Western Hemisphere’s oldest operating facility. Founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistadors, today it is property of the Mexican government and its operations are overseen by Banco de Mexico.
