It is a display of stunning artistry depicting Mexico’s rich Aztec heritage and its transformations throughout history. The craftsmanship is one that can only be perfected by the oldest mint in the Americas. The Royal Mexican Mint fully displayed its exquisite touch on the reverse proof 5 oz Libertad silver coin with mirrored design elements and lettering overlaying frosted background fields. The obverse features a depiction of Mexico’s national coat of arms at the center, which is the golden eagle wrestling a rattlesnake atop a prickly cactus. The center coat of arms is encircled by 10 historical versions of the same seal. The coat of arms is also enveloped by the inscription “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” (United States of Mexico). The reverse features two of Mexico’s national symbols: a mirrored depiction of the Winged Victory statue on the Mexican Independence Victory Column and, in the background, the frosted depiction of the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. The inscriptions on the reverse read “5 ONZA PLATA PURA,” “2023 LEY .999,” and “OM” with the “O” above the “M.” The inscriptions on the reverse of the Mexican silver Libertad coin translate to “Five ounces pure silver,” the year of mintage and the standard of purity (i.e., .999), and the mint mark. About the Mexican Mint: The Mexican Mint, with its roots dating back to 1535 under the decree of the Spanish Crown establishing La Casa de Moneda de México, holds a significant place in the annals of numismatics. Evolving into the Banco de México in 1925, the institution has maintained a steadfast commitment to producing coins that reflect Mexico's rich heritage and sovereignty. Post-independence in 1823, the Mint continued its coinage operations, infusing distinctive designs that symbolized Mexico's newfound freedom. The constitutional mandate in 1917, under Article 28, solidified the Mint's role as the exclusive entity responsible for currency issuance, reinforcing trust in the monetary system during times of political transition. Renowned for its diverse array of minted products, the Banco de México has garnered global acclaim. Notable among its offerings are the 1 oz Silver Libertad, 1 oz Gold Libertad, Gold Pesos, and Silver Aztec Calendar coins. These meticulously crafted pieces, valued for their aesthetic appeal and precious metal content, resonate with collectors and investors worldwide. Additionally, the Mint produces commemorative rounds, paying homage to pivotal moments and figures in Mexican history. Despite being North America's oldest mint, Banco de México distinguishes itself through its commitment to elegance and simplicity in design. Rather than inundating the market with numerous series, the Mint focuses on producing coins that encapsulate the essence of Mexican heritage. Incorporating various coats of arms used throughout history adds a layer of historical significance to its offerings, further enhancing their allure.
