Mexican Gold Libertad coins first appeared in 1981, but their design roots go back much further. The artwork on these coins takes inspiration from the Gold Centenario, a 50 Peso gold coin introduced in 1921 to celebrate Mexico’s 100 years of independence.

The Mexican Independence Victory Column, often called “El Ángel” or the Angel of Independence, is a well-known landmark in Mexico City. This tall monument, built in 1910 during the presidency of Porfirio Díaz, marks the 100th anniversary of the country’s independence. At the top is a bronze sculpture of Nike, the goddess of victory from Greek mythology.

On the obverse of the 2018 Proof Mexican Gold Libertad, you’ll find Mexico’s national coat of arms. This design traces its origins back to Aztec symbolism from the Codex Mendoza in 1524. It shows a golden eagle facing left, perched on a cactus and gripping a snake in its beak. According to legend, this was the sign the Aztecs were told to look for when choosing where to build their city.

The reverse side of the 2018 1/20 oz Proof Gold Libertad highlights the famous statue of Winged Victory atop the Independence Column. This scene also includes the distant view of Mexico’s twin volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, creating a powerful image of national pride and freedom.
