Just like the BU Gold Libertad Series, the Proof Gold Libertad Series has experienced a unique rollout over the years and has also experienced some stoppages in production that many other series don’t offer. For starters, the series started in 1989 and offered just one weight that year. Curiously, that weight wasn’t the 1 oz proof gold coin, but rather, a 1/2 oz proof gold coin.
There wouldn’t be another coin issued until 2004. This year still didn’t offer a 1 oz gold coin, but it also did not repeat the issue of the 1/2 oz proof gold coin. Instead, the Mexican Mint introduced the 1/4 oz proof gold coin in the Libertad Series. The next year, in 2005, the Mexican Mint finally introduced all five coins from the 1 oz proof coin down to the 1/20 oz proof coin. Since then, only the 2012 date is missing in the series as none of the coins were issued that year.
The obverse of 2022 1 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins comes with a depiction of the Mexican coat of arms. The national seal features a Mexican golden eagle on a prickly pear cactus. The eagle has its wings raised as it uses its talons and beak to devour a serpent. This design includes a ring of 10 historic versions of the same seal, with the Codex Mendoza design from 1524 featured at the top of the ring.
On the reverse field of the 2022 Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coin, you will find an image of Winged Victory. Her effigy is shown as it appears atop the Mexican Independence Victory Column. This statue was sculpted in 1910 and placed atop the column in Mexico City in 1921 in honor of the centennial of Mexican independence.
These 2022 1 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins are available to you with protective plastic capsules and boast proof visuals. This includes mirrored background fields with frosted design elements.
