When compared to its silver counterpart, the Mexican Gold Libertad has a very hot-and-cold production history. Both the BU and Proof Gold Libertads were introduced in the early 1980s, but had long gaps in production during those early years. As of 2004, Proof Gold Libertads have stabilized as an annual offering from the Mexican Mint. Now, 2024 1 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
- Coin arrives in a plastic capsule!
- 21st release of 1 oz Proof Gold Libertads!
- Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure gold.
- Mexican coat of arms on the obverse.
- Winged Victory on the reverse.
The first Gold Libertads were issued in 1981, with three BU gold coins released for investors. The BU Gold Libertad was not struck again until 1991 and would not become an annual release from the Mexican Mint until 2002. Proof Gold Libertads debuted in 1983 with only 88 of the 1 oz gold specimens produced.
Proof Gold Libertads were not struck again until 1989, with only a 1/2 oz gold coin offered this time and the mintage limited to 704 coins. The Mexican Mint would not produce Proof Gold Libertads again until 2004, this time offering 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz gold coins, each with extremely limited mintages.
For the obverse design of the 2024 1 oz Proof Gold Libertad Coin, the Mexican Mint offers a depiction of the national coat of arms. The modern national seal is featured on the coins in the center of the design field with a ring around the outer edge of the field that features 10 historic versions of the national coat of arms that date all the way back to an Aztec emblem first used in 1524.
In the reverse field of 2024 Proof Mexican Gold Libertads, you will find the figure of Winged Victory. A symbol dating back to the Mexican Revolution, Winged Victory is shown here as she stands atop the Mexican Independence Victory Column. Her right hand is extended and showcases a laurel wreath, while her left hand is at her side and clutches a set of broken chains.
These 2024 1 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins are available with frosted designs and mirrored background fields. The coins are individually packaged in protective plastic capsules for delivery.
