- Mintage: Limited to 10,000 pieces worldwide

- Obverse Design: Winged Victory figure in flowing robes, right arm raised holding a laurel branch, wings fully spread; inscriptions “1/500 oz,” “ORO PURO” to the left

The obverse presents a full-figure Winged Victory — a tribute to the Angel of Independence that has defined the Gold Libertad series since its inception. The figure strides forward in flowing, layered robes with both wings extended wide behind her, right arm raised holding a laurel branch aloft. The feathers across both wings are individually defined, and the drapery falls in deep, clean folds around her feet. The inscriptions “1/500 oz” and “ORO PURO” appear to the left of the figure, confirming the gold content and purity in Spanish.
The reverse draws directly from Mexico’s national coat of arms. A golden eagle dominates the design with wings spread at full extension, head turned left, gripping a serpent firmly in its beak — the founding symbol of Tenochtitlan rooted in Aztec legend. Beneath the eagle, a generous spread of prickly pear cactus with flowering pads fills the lower field. Individual feathers across the eagle’s wings, chest, and tail are struck with clear definition. “MEXICO” arcs across the upper field in bold block lettering.
The round is struck with a matte gold finish that gives both faces a warm, even tone and allows the engraving detail to read cleanly across the design. The smooth fields contrast with the textured feather and drapery work on both sides. With a worldwide mintage capped at 10,000 pieces, supply is genuinely limited for a fractional gold product at this price point.
Real .999 fine gold, two of Mexico’s most iconic national symbols, and a mintage that keeps this round from becoming ubiquitous make the 2026 Mexican Tribute 1/500 oz Gold Round a smart pick for gift buyers and gold collectors alike. Add it to your cart today.
