The Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coins are available in seven weights in total each year. These options range from 1/20 oz up to 5 oz and feature four fractional-weight coins with three coins of 1 oz or larger weight. Since 1992, all seven coins have been available every year save the 2012 release when only the 1 oz coin was offered.
Prior to 1992, the only coin available in the Proof Silver Libertad collection was the 1 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad. The coin debuted in 1983, one year after the first issue of the bullion version of the coin. However, no 1 oz proof was struck in 1984 or 1985. The coins were once again issued started in 1986 and continue to this day. The 2012 issue of the 1 oz Proof Silver Libertad was the only coin struck as the Mexican Mint focused more heavily on silver bullion coining at the time.
On the obverse of 2019 Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins, you’ll find the image of Winged Victory. Based on the figure of Justice from Ancient Greece, Winged Victory’s appearance is unique to the Mexican cause of independence in the 19th century. She holds a crown wreath over her head in her right hand and clutches the broken chains of servitude in her left hand.
The reverse side of 2019 1 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins differs from the fractional-weight coins in the series. Here, you’ll find the Mexican coat of arms in its modern form in the center of the design. While the fractional-weight coins have no other images, these 1 oz Proof Silver Libertads have 10 historic versions of the same seal surrounding the modern coat of arms.
These 2019 1 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins are available to you inside of a protective capsule from the Mexican Mint. While the Proof Silver Libertads often outshine their bullion counterparts in mintage, the figures remain quite low. Just 10,000 1 oz Proof Silver Libertads were issued in 2018.
