5 Ounce Silver Libertads
The Mexican Silver Libertad series offers investors a large variety of coins, in terms of sizes. Ranging from 1 kilo to 1/20 oz coins, the Mexican Silver Libertad series began in 1982 by one of the oldest mints in the Americas. Along with having tons of history, La Casa de Moneda de México has been producing quality currency for over 500 years. The design on both the obverse and reverse never change, making the coins a timeless addition to any coin collection. Each coin is guaranteed to be .999 fine silver and in brilliant uncirculated condition. The Libertad's popularity is increasing with every year among silver coin investors and collectors alike.
Design of the 5oz Mexican Silver Libertads
The design for the obverse of the Mexican Libertad was inspired by the Mexican Centenario. The Centenario is the first minted bullion coin in Mexico back in 1921. This coin was minted to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Mexico's Independence from Spain. The goddess, Victoria, is featured on the Libertad as a symbol of victory and independence. She is winged with long arms and a flowing drape covering only her bottom half. She is balanced on a pillar, making her an untouchable figure overlooking the land. She stands in front of two volcanoes that are well known to Mexican culture and have a bit of mythology in their history as well. The Mexican Mint's mark is also featured on the obverse, along with "five ounces of pure silver," and the coin's date of mintage written in Spanish.
