Obverse

On the obverse of 1992 Silver Libertads, the central image is the Mexican coat of arms. This artwork depicts a golden eagle in the act of wrestling a snake while perched on a prickly pear cactus. Surrounding the image is a detailed border influenced by traditional Aztec designs.

Reverse

The reverse displays the front-facing image of Winged Victory, a symbol originally featured on Mexicos Gold Centenario. She holds a laurel wreath aloft in her right hand while her left hand carries a pair of broken chains representing freedom.

History

Early Silver Libertads featured artwork taken from the 1921 Gold Centenario coin. The obverse design used from 1982 to 1999 included just the current version of Mexicos national seal. That changed in 2000 when a decorative ring with 10 past versions of the seal was added to the design on larger silver coins. On the reverse, the design used from 1982 through 1995 shows Winged Victory facing forward. Starting in 1996, the image was updated to a side-view portrait.
