1986 Mexican Libertad 1 oz Silver Proof






Unlike the 1990 proof which has reeded rims, the 1986 Libertad has "INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD" inscribed around its rim.
All post 1988 Libertads no longer has this inscription.

1990 Mexican Libertad Proof

This is the 1st generation Mexican Silver Libertad featuring the original Independence Angel on one side (New Independence Angel design was introduced in 1996 onwards) and the national symbol of Mexico, an eagle with a snake in its mouth standing on a cactus on the other.

2009 Mexican Silver Libertad

The Libertad is Mexico's treasure coin and is minted at Casa de Moneda de Mexico, which was established in 1536 and is the oldest Mint in North America.


These magnificent BU .999 fine 1 oz Silver bullion coins are very popular with collectors. The obverse features the Independence Angel against a backdrop of the "Lovers' Peaks" twin volcanoes. The reverse carries the national seal of Mexico surrounded by previous seals used during Mexico's history. Pictures shown here are the new design adopted since 1996.

Due to the low mintage, the Libertads command a premium over the American Eagles and Canadian Maples.
