Mexican Gold Libertads were first issued by the Mexican Mint in 1981, but the inspiration for the coin dates back 60 years before its introduction. The coin that inspired the designs on the modern Gold Libertad was the 1921 Gold Centenario, a 50 Peso gold coin released by the Mexican Mint to honor the nation’s 100th anniversary of independence. Right now, 2018 1/20 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2018 1/20 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coin offered here is a proof specimen with frosted devices and mirrored fields. These coins are individually packaged in plastic capsules and had a limited mintage of only 1,000 specimens in 2018. The highest-minted coin in 2018 was the 1/10 oz version of the Proof Gold Libertad.
The Mexican Independence Victory Column, known locally as “El Ángel” or the Angel of Independence, stands majestically on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. Completed in 1910 under President Porfirio Díaz to commemorate the centennial of Mexico’s independence movement, this 45-meter monument is crowned with a striking bronze statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.
For the obverse of 2018 Proof Mexican Gold Libertads, the mint features the national coat of arms. Mexico’s national seal is inspired by the Codex Mendoza symbolism from the Aztecs in 1524. The design shows a golden eagle in left-profile relief on a prickly pear cactus as it devours a snake. It is said the Aztecs were told by their god, Huitzilopochtli, to look for this sign and build their city there.
In the reverse design of 2018 1/20 oz Proof Gold Libertad Coins, the Mexican Mint features a detailed depiction of Winged Victory atop the Mexican Independence Victory Column. The monument is a celebration of Mexican independence from Spain and the design includes the volcanic mountain peaks of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl in the distant background.
