2023 Mexico? Silver Libertad Proof Set
2023 Mexico Libertad set of 5 Silver Proof Coins ranging from one ounce to one twentieth of an ounce each In Protective Capsules. The series motif honors the Centenario of the Mexican Independence. Therefore, both sides of the coin present symbols of freedom. The obverse displays the Coat of Arms of Mexico. Heavier coins of the series, starting with the one-ounce piece, bring eleven versions of this seal, with the current one centralized and encircled by ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. As a pattern, all versions feature an Eagle in battle position, perched on a pear cactus eating a rattlesnake, defending the nation against foreign domination. Smaller coins, starting with the half-once, display only the current Coat of Arms. The reverse exhibits the same image, whatever size. It showcases the Angel of Victory. The angel is a feminine figure of the nation with arms and wings open, with two folk mountains, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, in the background. The Winged Victory is also a 17-foot monument located in Mexico City. The inscriptions that complete the reverse design describe their corresponding coin’s weight, metal content, fineness, and year of issuance. The “M” on the right identifies the Mexican Mint. The Mexican Libertad Series is one of the oldest coin series in the Americas. The series’ debut dates back to 1982, when only few coins around the globe, like the Canadian Maple Leaf and South African Krugerrand coins, were available for private investment. It is a comprehensive collection of gold and silver coins ranging from the tiny 1/20 oz to the heavy Kilo Coin, in bullion, proof, and reverse-proof finishes. Despite lacking face value, the Central Bank of Mexico guarantees the coins’ legal tender based on the weight, purity levels, and silver spot price.
