2020-Mo Mexico 5-oz Silver Libertad Gem Proof

The 2020 Five-Ounce Silver Libertads Are Finally Here!

Since 1996, the world-famous Mexican Mint — the Casa de Moneda de Mexico — has released its immensely popular silver Libertad Five-Ounce PROOF coins. But for a long stretch of 2020, there were fears that no Libertads would be released at all thanks to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Undeterred, Mexico was finally able to release its 2020 Libertads in November, the latest point in any year that it has released these ferociously collected coins.

An Unparalleled Tradition of Quality and Consistency

Silver Libertads from Mexico are popular the world over not only for their silver content, but also for their limited mintages and exquisite beauty. And that beauty has never looked better then on this 2020-dated coin struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. While Mexico’s ties to Spain are evident in daily life from the language to bullfights, the country’s citizens take tremendous pride in their independence, which is precisely what Mexico’s world-renowned Libertad coin series celebrates. Mexican silver is world-renowned for its quality and consistency — and has been for nearly 500 years since the founding of the Mexican Mint in 1535, making it the oldest mint in North America. The 2020 Silver Libertad follows in that unparalleled tradition.

Capturing Mexico’s Natural and Artistic Beauty

The Five-Ounce Silver Libertad Proof features one of the most recognizable representations of Mexican independence. Its design of the Winged Victory is based on the statue that stands atop the Mexican Victory Independence Column in Mexico City. The column and statue were erected in 1921 to mark the 100th anniversary of Mexico’s independence from Spain. The obverse shows Mexico's official seal, an eagle with a snake in mouth, standing on a cactus symbolizing the founding of Mexico City. The emblem is surrounded by the words “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” which translates to United Mexican States — Mexico’s official name. Completing the design, the seal is surrounded by the different official seals used throughout the history of Mexico.

Each coin available here will come in its original mint capsule and will arrive in gorgeous Gem Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. With its pure silver content and limited mintage, the 2020 Five-Ounce Silver Libertad Proof is sure to appeal to coin collectors and silver stackers alike. Don’t delay — add one of these popular silver coins to your collection today!
