The Mexican Silver Libertad was originally introduced in bullion version with just a 1 oz weight option. In 1991 the Mexican Mint expanded the program to include four fractional-weight coins: ½ oz, ¼ oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz. In 1996, the bullion version was expanded again to include the 2 oz coin and a 5 oz option, as well.
Among bullion coins of the world, the Mexican Silver Libertad is unique for a few reasons. First and foremost, it has an extremely limited mintage compared to other popular programs such as the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf or American Silver Eagle. For 2015, the Mexican Mint struck just under 1 million Silver Libertads across all seven weights, while the US Mint produced 47 million American Silver Eagles, which are available in just a 1 oz weight.
Also, the Mexican Silver Libertad has no official face value. While the coin is considered legal tender, it was issued a floating face value. No monetary denomination is engraved, and in order to actually use it for commercial purposes, one would have to call Banco de Mexico to find out the spot value of the coin.
