Each 2018 ½ oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coin in this product listing comes in BU condition.

The history of production in the Mexican Silver Libertad series stretches back to 1991 for the fractional weights. The ½ oz has historically been struck at levels below that of the smaller 1/10 and 1/20 oz coins, with 1992 representing the highest mintage year at 119,000 compared to 299,933 and 295,783 for the 1/10 oz and 1/20 oz coins respectively.

On the reverse of all ½ oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coins you’ll find the image of the coat of arms for Mexico. It depicts a bald eagle sitting on the arm of a cactus as it struggles to contain the writhing form of a rattlesnake. Though used throughout Mexican history dating back to the Aztecs, this modern depiction is said to reflect the Mexican people during their 19^th century battle against Spain for freedom from colonial control.

The obverse of 2018 Mexican Silver Libertad coins features the images of Winged Victory and the twin volcanic peaks of Popocatepetl and Izztacihuatl. Winged Victory stands atop the Mexican Independence Victory Column in Mexico City, with the volcanic peaks visible outside city limits in the distance.

Founded in 1535, the Mexican Mint is the oldest operating mint in the Western Hemisphere. Spanish conquistadors used the original mint to refine gold and silver for shipment back to Spain, while the crown used the mint to strike coins for its Western Hemisphere colonies.
