Mexican Silver Libertad coins originated in 1982 as a 1 oz bullion product. The proof version of the coin was introduced in 1986 with a 1 oz weight, and not expanded to include further weights until 1992 when four fractional-weight coins were added. These 2 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coins were introduced in 1996 along with a 5 oz coin.
Among the Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coins from the Mexican Mint, the 2 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad is the rarest. Production for the total proof series is typically capped around 10,000 coins. While the 1 oz is the most popular, the 2 oz is struck in the lowest mintage each year, adding value through rarity.
On the reverse side of the coin is the modern coat of arms for Mexico in the center of the coin, which features an eagle battling a serpent on a cactus branch. Around the outer rim are 10 historic versions of the coat of arms for Mexico, dating back to the early 19th century.
The obverse side of the coin includes the images of two iconic Mexican symbols. In the background are the volcanic peaks of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, named after a pair of ancient Aztec lovers. In the foreground is the Angel of Independence as featured on the Winged Victory statue in Mexico City.
Mexico’s official sovereign mint, the Mexican Mint, is controlled by the federal government and overseen by the Banco de Mexico. In addition to Mexican Silver Libertads, it produces circulation coins and paper bank notes.
