Produced by the Mexican government Mint, Libertad silver coins are sold in a variety of denominations, ranging from 1/20 to a complete silver ounce. Special edition include a 2.5 ounce and 1 kilogram edition, which are designed for collectors.

Similar to the American Silver Eagle, the coins are 99.9% pure silver, making them a great choice for investors and coin collectors alike. Limited distribution makes the coins an attractive alternative to standard silver investments, while the Mint also produces gold versions of the same coins.

The designs on the coin reflect Mexican Independence (hence the name, Libertad) by demonstrated a Winged Victoria, while the back of the coin demonstrates the country’s national heritage, including coasts of arms for the various state, which reflect the various regions of the country. In 2008, the design underwent a revision, which resulted in improved visibility and clarity of the design. As a result, coin collectors have enjoyed improved returns on Mexican silver coins over the last decade.
