Silver Libertad coins debuted in 1982 at the Mexican Mint, and it’s the 1 oz silver coin in the series that’s been available for the longest period of time. The 2018 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad is the 37th issue of these coins, and only this one has been available in every year since 1982.
On the obverse of the 2018 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad is the depiction of Winged Victory. The symbol of Mexican perseverance over Spanish colonial forces in the 1820s, Winged Victory stands tall over Mexico City today at the top of the Mexican Independence Victory Column erected in the city in 1921 to mark 100 years of freedom and independence.
The reverse of the 1 oz Silver Libertad Coin features the coat of arms for the nation of Mexico. In the center of the design is the modern coat of arms, which is surrounded on the outer design rim by 10 historic versions of the nation’s coat of arms.
Mexican Mint is the official sovereign mint of the nation and is controlled by Banco de Mexico, with oversight from the federal government. The mint was originally formed in 1535 by Spanish conquistadors and once served Spanish colonies throughout the Western Hemisphere with coinage.
