The Libertad coin series has been a fixture of Mexican numismatics for over four decades, a range of precious bullion coins that were first minted in 1982 and have been struck annually ever since. Produced by the Mexican Mint — the oldest mint in the Americas, established in 1535 — these coins do not carry a face value but are still accepted as currency, guaranteed by the Banco de Mexico based on the market value of their bullion content. Some of the most beautiful and valuable versions of these coins feature reverse-proof visuals made specifically for the collectors’ market, featuring frosted backgrounds and polished raised elements. The 2022 2 oz Reverse Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coin is such a collectors’ piece, now available for online purchase through JM Bullion.

The Monument to Independence is one of Mexico City’s most recognizable landmarks, also called the Angel of Independence or simply “The Angel.” Built in 1910 to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Mexican War of Independence, it is surrounded by marble statues commemorating various heroes of that war. Its crowning statue of the Greek goddess Nike is featured in various ways on all the coins in the Libertad series.
That includes the 2022 Reverse Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coin, which ships in a protective plastic capsule from JM Bullion, fully insured against any possibility of a mishap in transit. The original mintage of this coin was just 1,000 pieces worldwide, meaning that current supplies are limited and ordering early is key.
The obverse side features the Mexican national shield in a polished sculptural relief along with the inscription “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.” This is surrounded by a set of ten historical Mexican coats of arms, all set against a frosted background.
The reverse field features Enrique Alciati’s statue of Nike as it appears at the apex of the Monument to Independence, with the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl behind it. This is accompanied by the mint mark of the Mexican Mint and inscriptions verifying the coin’s weight, year of issue, and purity.
