Most major gold bullion coin programs in the precious metals marketplace have various options available to those purchasing the coins. Among them, the Mexican Gold Libertad coin is available to investors with bullion coins in weights that include 1/20, 1/10, 1/2, 1, and 1/4 oz options. The 2017 1/4 oz Mexican Gold Libertad coin is available to you today online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
- Arrives in a protective plastic flip.
- 22nd release of Gold Libertads in 1/4 oz weights!

Mexican Gold Libertads are available in a total of five weights, with the 1 oz gold coin leading the way followed by the four fractional weights. The 1/4 oz gold coin often has the lowest mintage in the collection, and like other coins in the series was available starting in 1991, but not available from 1995 to 1999 or in 2001.
The Gold Libertad coins are among the most popular in the world. While other major gold bullion coins are produced to meet demand, the Gold Libertad coins are available in much lower mintage figures. For example, the 2016 issue of the coin had just 1,000 coins struck in the bullion version.
On the obverse of the 2017 1/4 oz Mexican Gold Libertad features the image of Winged Victory. Known as the Angel of Independence, her figure is found atop the Mexican Independence Victory column located in the center of Mexico City. It was erected there in 1921 to mark the 100th anniversary of the nation’s independence.
The reverse of Mexican Gold Libertad coins includes the coat of arms for Mexico. While the 1 oz gold coin in this release includes the modern coat of arms surrounded by 10 historic versions, the 1/4 oz coin and other fractional weights includes only the modern coat of arms.
Each 2017 1/4 oz Mexican Gold Libertad coin available here is in BU condition. Coins in BU condition have no signs of wear and tear, but there are detracting flaws resulting from coining. These include breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks.
