2016 5 oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coin .999 Fine Proof (In Cap)

The Mexican Silver Libertad coins are produced at one of the oldest mints in North America, the Casa de Moneda de Mexico, or the National Mint of Mexico. The coin has been gaining the popularity over the 30 years. The elegant and detailed design and the high quality make this coin a must-have addition to any precious metals collection.

The Silver Libertad is struck in far lower quantities than other one-ounce annual silver coins. The mintages average less than a million coins per year, making these Silver Libertads harder to find after the issue sells out.

This coin comes in Proof condition, which means each coin is struck two or more times by the coin die. By striking it more than once the metal is forced into all the crevices of the die, thereby giving a very fine detail to the image on the coin and frosted look.

The reverse depicts the Mexico’s Angel of Liberty, which is a symbol of independence that soars high on a pedestal in the center of Mexico City. This design is often compared to the U.S. Lady Liberty. Behind her stand two volcanoes - Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl.

The obverse shows Mexico's official seal, an eagle with a snake in a mouth, standing on a cactus. The emblem is surrounded by the words “Estados Unidos Mexicanos” which is Mexico’s official name, translates to the United Mexican States. In addition, the 1 oz coin is surrounded by the different official seals used throughout the history of Mexico, including the eagle with a snake in its beak - symbolizing the founding of Mexico City.
