Mexican Silver Libertad coins debuted in 1982 as the official silver bullion coin of the nation of Mexico. The coin series remained limited to just a 1 oz weight until 1991, when the 1/10 oz Mexican Silver Libertad was introduced along with a 1/20 oz, ¼ oz, and ½ oz variety.

The 2016 1/10 oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coins in this product listing have BU grades. A Brilliant Uncirculated coin is characterized by lack of wear and tear, but does often contain breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the striking process.

On the obverse of each coin you’ll find the image of Winged Victory. An important symbol in Mexican culture since the nation’s independence from Spain, Winged Victory symbolizes victory in battle and freedom from the oppression of others.

The reverse of the 2016 1/10 oz Mexican Silver Libertad bears the image of the modern coat of arms of Mexico. In the official seal, a bald eagle is featured sitting on the arm of cactus while it struggles to contain and defeat a snake. Adopted during the country’s struggle for independence, the imagery represents the nation’s attempts to rid itself of Spanish rule.

Founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistadors, the Mexican Mint once struck gold coinage for territories throughout the Western Hemisphere controlled by the Spanish crown. Today it is the official mint of the federal government and is overseen by Banco de Mexico, the nation’s central bank.
