As the official coin of the Mexican government, Mexican Silver Libertads were introduced in 1982 as a bullion coin, with the first proof coin struck in 1983. Regular production of Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coins commenced in 1986 with a 1 oz weight, with four fractional-weight coins added in 1992, and a 2 oz and 5 oz coin added in 1996.

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 2016 2 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad 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 19^th century.

In the foreground is the Angel of Independence as featured on the Winged Victory statue in Mexico City.
