The obverse side of the coin has Winged Liberty, the famous statue that sits at the top of the column that is an icon in Mexico City. Liberty is holding a wreath in one hand and broken chains in the other. In the background are the Sierra Madre mountains. Engraved above the image is ‘1 oz Plata Pura 2012 LEY .999’.
On the coin’s reverse side of the coin is a modern version of Mexico’s Coat of Arms at the very center. Around this design are other designs of the Coat of Arms as represented throughout the ages. This Coat of Arms is made from the famous story regarding the founding of Mexico City. The Aztecs saw a golden eagle eating a rattlesnake. The scene inspired them to found what is now known as Mexico City. This modern design shows a very detailed eagle with its beak and talons clamped onto the rattlesnake. In the foreground are cacti. Written above the battle is ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos’.
