This .999 fine silver coin is made by the Casa de Moneda de México (established in 1535), the oldest mint in the Americas.
The obverse surface of the coin bears the current coat of arms of Mexico surrounded by the historical coats of arms. The backdrop of the reverse surface features a landscape with the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl. The winged figure of El Ángel de la Independencia (The Angel of Independence) that adorns the foreground is a reproduction of the one that stands atop a victory column commemorating Mexico’s War of Independence.
Thus bearing several of its most important national symbols, the Libertad coin is a celebration of the proud heritage and history of Mexico.
