The obverse side has an image of an eagle with a rattlesnake in its beak. This is a famous scene in Mexican history. The Aztecs saw this scene unfold and decided it was a sign that they should build their city there. This city is where the modern day Mexico City is today. Above this image is written ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos’ which means ‘United Mexican States’.

 

On the reverse side is a picture of Winged Victory, the statue that stands on a pedestal in Mexico City. This statue is a popular location for tourists and sports teams who want to celebrate a victory. Behind the statue are the Mexican Volcanoes which are iconic to the Mexican people. Above the image is ‘1/20 Onza PLATA Puro 2022 LEY .999’ which translates to ‘1/20 Ounce Pure Silver 2022 Purity .999’.

 

Collectors love these coins for their low mintages. After their release, they become scarce and hard to find when trying to purchase them later. These coins are minted at La Casa de Moneda de Mexico, North America’s oldest mint. The Libertad Coin was first introduced in 1981 and quickly became very popular. 

 

This 2022 1/20 Proof Mexican Silver Libertad Coin is simply a beautiful coin made even more beautiful with the proof elements. These accents really make the contrast of the design stand out and would make this coin a wonderful addition to your collection.
