The Mexican Silver Libertad Series has been available to investors and collectors since 1982.

The growth and evolution of the collectible Mexican Silver Libertad Coins is an interesting tale. In 1983, a 1 oz Proof Silver Libertad was issued for the first time and later became an annual issue in 1986. In 1992, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz coins were introduced. In 1996, 2 oz and 5 oz coins debuted, and were later followed by a 1 Kilo coin in 2008.
Beyond the addition of various weights over the course of time, the Mexican Mint expanded beyond just Proof Silver Libertads. In 2017, the Mexican Mint introduced reverse proof versions of the coin in 1 oz, 2 oz, and 5 oz weights. From 2018 to 2019, the Mexican Mint also offered an antique version of the coin in the same three weights.
On the obverse of 2023 1 oz Reverse Proof Silver Libertad Coins are depictions of the coat of arms of Mexico. In the central design field, you’ll find the modern seal of Mexico. Around this, you’ll notice 10 historical versions of the same seal, with the design at the 12-o’clock position dating back to 1524.
The reverse side of the 2023 Reverse Proof Mexican Silver Libertad comes with a depiction of Winged Victory. This image is based on the copper statue that was cast in 1910 to mark the centennial of the start of the nation’s independence movement. In 1921, it was placed at the top of the Mexican Independence Victory Column to mark the centennial of the nation’s formal independence.
These 2023 1 oz Reverse Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coins are available to you individually in plastic capsules. Reverse-proof coins have mirrored designs and lettering with frosted background fields.
