The Mexican Gold Libertad series, of which the 1 Onza Gold 2018 Proof is a part, has its roots in Mexico's history of gold mining and coinage.

On the reverse side, a captivating portrayal of Mexico's national emblem takes center stage. This emblem features an eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a serpent—an ancient symbol deeply rooted in Mexican history and mythology. The inscription "1 Onza Oro Puro," denoting the coin's weight and purity, is displayed below the emblem.
