Proof Silver Libertad coins from the Mexican Mint are available to collectors buying silver in seven weights. The 2 oz and 5 oz coins are the largest, with a 1 oz coin accompanied by four fractional weights that include a ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz option in addition to these 1/20 oz coins.
All 2018 1/20 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins available for purchase through this listing come to you inside of protective capsules. The proof coins in the Silver Libertad collection have frosted design sets and deeply-mirrored background fields that deliver visual contrast between the design elements and the coin’s surface.
The reported mintage for 2018 1/20 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins was 7,900 coins, which is the highest among the four fractional weights and below only the 1 oz coin’s 10,000 mintage in the overall collection of proof coins.
On the reverse of all 2018 1/20 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins, you’ll find the image of Winged Victory. She is based upon the Goddess of Victory, the same inspiration for America’s Lady Liberty, and holds a wreath high in her right hand with a set of broken chains in her left hand. Winged Victory first appeared on the 1921 Centenario gold coin from the mint.
In the background are the geographic features of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. These volcanic peaks are located some 43 miles outside of Mexico City, with Popocatepetl remaining active while Iztaccihuatl is classified as dormant. The name of Iztaccihuatl comes from an indigenous tongue and means “white woman,” as the snow-capped peaks resemble a woman’s head, chest, knees, and feet when viewed from the east or west.
The obverse of 2018 1/20 oz Proof Silver Libertad Coins features the coat of arms. The smallest coin in the collection, the 1/20 has only the modern coat of arms for Mexico featured on its obverse design field. All fractional-weight coins have only this design, while the 1 oz, 2 oz, and 5 oz coins feature a ring of 10 historic depictions of the seal as well.
