First introduced in 1981, the 1/2 oz Gold Libertad was offered alongside the 1/4 oz and 1 oz gold coins that year for just one release. The Mexican Gold Libertad coins were not offered between 1982 and 1990. The highest mintage figure ever for the 1/2 oz Gold Libertad was 193,000 coins in 1981. The lowest was just 300 coins in both 2003 and 2008. More recently, the 1/2 oz Gold Libertad remained the lowest minted in the series with just 1,250 coins produced in 2018.
On the obverse of 2019 Mexican Gold Libertad Coins is the design of Winged Victory. Her figure features as a 17-foot tall statue atop the Mexican Victory Independence Column in Mexico City where it was erected in 1921 to mark 100 years of independence for the nation. She holds a crown wreath over her head in her right hand and in her left she holds the broken chains of colonial servitude.
The reverse of all 2019 1/2 oz Mexican Gold Libertad Coins includes the modern seal of Mexico. The nation’s coat of arms includes an eagle sitting on the arm of a cactus as it battles a serpent. The design reflects Mexico’s battle against Spain for independence, with the eagle representing Mexico and the snake Spain.
Founded in 1535, the Mexican Mint was built by Spanish conquistadors to both refine gold and silver for shipment to Europe and to strike colonial coinage for Spain’s colonies throughout the Western Hemisphere. Today it is the sovereign mint of Mexico and operated by Banco de Mexico.
