2019-Mo Libertad 5 Onzas MS Silver, Antiqued Finish Values
Details
Step into the rich tapestry of Mexican numismatic history with the Libertad coin series, a saga that unfolds with each gleaming silver or gold piece. Launched in 1982, these coins are not just a testament to Mexico's commitment to precious metals but also a celebration of the nation's cultural and historical legacy. The iconic imagery etched on each Libertad, featuring the Angel of Independence and the majestic Mexican volcanoes, encapsulates the spirit of freedom and the enduring beauty of the Mexican landscape.
Beyond their aesthetic allure, Libertad coins serve as a symbol of economic resilience and monetary sovereignty. Struck in various denominations and minted in both bullion and proof finishes, these coins are a tangible expression of Mexico's enduring connection to its pre-Columbian roots and its continuous pursuit of financial stability. As collectors and investors alike cherish these coins, they partake in a narrative that transcends mere currency – a story of a nation, its struggles, triumphs, and the enduring spirit that defines the Mexican Libertad series.
The history of the Bank of Mexico and its numismatic arm, La Casa de Moneda de México, weaves a tale that spans centuries and echoes the evolution of a nation. Established in 1535, La Casa de Moneda is one of the oldest mints in the Americas, predating even many European counterparts. Its origins are intertwined with the Spanish crown's quest for financial stability in the New World. Over the centuries, this institution, now under the umbrella of the Bank of Mexico, has been a custodian of Mexico's monetary heritage, producing iconic coins like the Libertad series.
Today, as the sole issuer of legal tender coins in the country, the Bank of Mexico continues the legacy of La Casa de Moneda, striking coins that bear witness to Mexico's rich cultural tapestry and unwavering commitment to precious metals.
