Mexican Silver Libertad coins are struck in seven weights each year by the Mexican Mint. The weights range from this 5 oz. Silver Libertad at the top, to the 1/20 oz Silver Libertad at the bottom. Mintage levels for the 5 oz Mexican Silver Libertad are typically the lowest in the series, meaning these coins can disappear quickly from vendor inventories.
The designs used on the 2015 5 oz Mexican Silver Libertad coin include the common obverse and reverse images used on the coin since the mid-1990s. On the obverse side of the coin is Angel of Independence. The angel first appeared in Mexican society in 1920 when the nation celebrated the centennial of its War of Independence from Spain. The reverse side of the coins feature various designs of the national coat of arms.
On the obverse side of the 5 oz Mexican Silver Libertad coin is the image of the winged Angel of Independence. In the distant background, the Mexican volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihautl are engraved. Inscriptions on this side of the coin include the weight, purity, and metal content of the coin (in Spanish), as well as the Mexican Mint mark.
The reverse side of the 5 oz coin bears the current Mexican coat of arms in the middle. In the image, a bald eagle sits atop a cactus as it fights with a snake clutched in its beak. The image is immediately surrounded by a wreath and the phrase “Estados Unidos Mexicanos.” Around the outer rim of the reverse side are various coat-of-arms designs used throughout Mexican history.
The Mexican Mint is a decentralized agency of the Mexican federal government. First opened in 1535 by Spanish conquerors, the Mexican Mint is the oldest operating facility in the Americas.

“I am a little disappointed in the coin because it doesn’t come in a plastic capsule, I feel a coin like this should and I expected it to! JMB deserves a 5 star review though.”
