Each of the 2023 1 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins available in this listing come to you with individual packaging. The coins are housed in protective plastic capsules and boast proof visuals. This indicates the coins have frosted design elements overlaying the mirrored background field.
The female allegory Winged Victory is also known as the Angel of Independence. The Angel of Independence, also known as “El Ángel de la Independencia” in Spanish, holds deep significance in Mexican culture as a symbol of the nation’s struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule.
Obverse design elements on the 2023 Proof Mexican Gold Libertad feature the coat of arms of Mexico. The 1 oz gold coin in this series includes the modern seal at the center of the coin field, with 10 historic versions of the seal around the rim of the coin. This includes the historic image of the original seal from the Codex Mendoza at the 12 o’clock position around the rim.
Reverse visuals on the 2023 1 oz Proof Gold Libertad include the image of Winged Victory. This image captures her real-life appearance at the top of the Mexican Independence Victory Column, a memorial constructed in Mexico City in 1921 to honor the centennial of the nation’s independence.
