Mexican Gold Libertads
Gold Libertads were first struck in 1 oz Gold in a BU finish in 1981. The design on the coins minted in 1981 and 1991-1994 drew inspiration from the historical Centenario coin that honored the centennial anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. In 2000, the Gold Libertad’s artwork was updated to depict the historic coat of arms encompassing Mexico’s current coat of arms. The Gold Libertads are known for their low bullion coin mintages, which makes it difficult to find backdated coins and adds to their collectibility.
