2000 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad

The Mexican Mint is the national mint for Mexico and is also the oldest mint located in the Americas. The Mexican Mint first produced the Centenario gold Mexican coin in 1921 to honor Mexico's 100th year anniversary from Spain. Using the same design from the Centenario, the Mexican Mint started an actual bullion coin series in 1982. The Mexican Libertads are minted every year and are Mexico's version of the Silver Eagle. These coins are pure silver, guaranteed to be brilliant uncirculated, and are packaged in plastic flips for orders under 20. For orders of 20 coins or more, the coins come in mint tubes. The Mexican Libertads series' popularity is quickly spreading all over the world. Coin collectors patiently anticipate the annual release of these remarkable, historical coins.

The Mexican Coat of Arms graces the reverse side of the Libertad. The seal displays a proud eagle, perched on a prickly pear cactus, and devouring a snake. Some say there are religious connotations but the main meaning is simple: good triumphs over evil. Surrounding the significant seal are 10 smaller seals that symbolize the 10 provinces of Mexico. The obverse portrays a winged Victoria as strong and graceful. She alone signifies victory and independence for the Mexican culture. She is incredibly intricate in detail and poise, revealing a vulnerability with only being clothed from the hips down. Her wings are widespread insinuating she may take off in any minute. Behind her are still active volcanoes, known for their mythology in Mexican culture.
