Silver Libertads were introduced in 1982 by the Mexico City Mint (famed for being the oldest mint in all of North America). The two ounce silver bullion coin’s design was based off of the well-regarded Gold 50 Peso Centenario. The Centenario was first struck in 1921 to commemorate Mexico’s 100th Anniversary of the it’s independence from Spain. The quality of the 50 Peso is often compared to that of Saint Gauden’s lauded American Double Eagle. The artistry of the Centenario’s design has been brought back to life in the Mexican Silver Libertad.
