Each 2011 1 oz Mexican Gold Libertad Coin is presented in a protective plastic flip for safekeeping. Although the series launched in 1981, it wasnt until 2002 that Gold Libertads became an annual issue. With a declared mintage of just 3,000 coins in 2011, these coins are much rarer than the 596,000 coins minted during the first year of production.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2011 Mexican Gold Libertad showcases Mexicos national coat of arms. This emblem depicts an eagle devouring a snake while standing on a prickly pear cactus, a symbol of the founding of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. The coat of arms is surrounded by 10 historic versions of the emblem.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2011 1 oz Gold Libertad Coin, Winged Victory stands tall. As a symbol of Mexican independence, the statue holds a laurel wreath and broken chains, representing victory and freedom. The mountains of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl can be seen in the background, enhancing the beautiful design.

History

The Mexican Libertad series started with the Gold Libertad but has expanded over the years to include silver and proof versions of the coins. All Libertads, regardless of composition, feature the same timeless design elements.
