1oz Mexican Gold Libertad

The 1 oz Mexican Gold Libertad is Mexico’s premier gold bullion coin, minted by the renowned La Casa de Moneda de México - the oldest mint in the Americas, established in 1535. First issued in 1981, the Gold Libertad combines exceptional craftsmanship, national symbolism, and limited annual mintages. Unlike many sovereign bullion coins, the Gold Libertad does not carry a face value, yet it is still considered legal tender backed by the Mexican government. Its beauty, scarcity, and historical context make it one of the most distinctive bullion coins available globally.

Key Features:

• Purity: Each 1 oz Gold Libertad is struck from 90.0% pure gold (21.6 karats), containing a full troy ounce of fine gold. This high-purity content aligns it with international bullion standards and ensures it is well-regarded among collectors and gold buyers alike.

• Design: The obverse features the iconic Mexican Coat of Arms—an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak—surrounded by historical variations of the national emblem. The reverse displays a dramatic image of the Winged Victory statue (El Ángel de la Independencia) in front of the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, symbolizing freedom and national pride. This design is both culturally rich and visually striking.

• Denomination: The 1 oz Gold Libertad does not carry a numerical face value. While it is considered legal tender, its value is determined entirely by its gold content and market demand. This unique feature sets it apart from most other sovereign bullion coins.

• Collectability: The 1 oz Gold Libertad is widely sought after for its artistic beauty, low mintage numbers, and connection to Mexico’s national heritage. Annual mintages are typically far lower than other major bullion series, enhancing its appeal to collectors. Proof and reverse-proof versions are also released in highly limited quantities. The Libertad’s lack of a face value and its historical design set it apart as a standout in world gold coinage, making it especially prized by numismatists and enthusiasts of Latin American bullion.
