1996 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad

Stunning. Alluring. Timeless. These are just a few words that are used to described the Mexican Libertad series. When a coin collector first sets their eyes on the obverse, they are taken aback by the beauty of the goddess, Victoria. She is presented on the coin as vulnerable and attainable but she is neither one of those things. She is strong, graceful, and ferocious. She wins battles and holds onto the victories for ages to come. The winged Victoria is also accompanied by two famous volcanoes in Mexico. These volcanoes have mythological stories all their own and represent unending love. Around the rim of the coin, the words, "1 onza plata pura," "1996," and "ley .999," are inscribed. These words mean "one ounce of pure silver" in Spanish.

The Mexican Libertad series' design does not change year to year, only its year and mintage. For 1996, 300,000 coins were minted but it's still a difficult year to find for the Libertad collector. The Mexican Mint has been producing the Libertad series since 1982 and has plans to keep doing so. Each coin is pure silver, in brilliant uncirculated condition, and comes in individual coin flips. For orders over 20 coins, they are packaged in mint tubes. Many aspiring coin collectors look for beautiful coins that come from a reputable mint and something they can look forward to annually. The Mexican Libertad series is the perfect collection for such a collector. The history and folklore behind the designs on the Libertad make it a great conversation piece. The Libertad's popularity is constantly growing so act fast before they are all gone!
