All 2012 2 oz Mexican Silver Libertad Coins in this listing are provided in protective plastic flips. The Silver Libertad program first began in 1982, but the 2 oz denomination was not introduced until 1996. This larger format was the first expansion of the series and later led to the addition of other larger coins, including the 5 oz and 1 kilo silver Libertads.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2012 Mexican Silver Libertad, you will see the modern Mexican coat of arms. At the center is an eagle standing on a cactus while grasping a serpent in its beak, an image drawn from an ancient Aztec legend tied to the founding of Tenochtitlan. Around the main emblem are ten historical versions of Mexicos coat of arms arranged in a circular border, showing how the national symbol has changed throughout the countrys history.

Reverse

The reverse of 2012 2 oz Silver Libertad Coins presents the image of Winged Victory, often called the Angel of Independence. This statue stands along Mexico Citys Paseo de la Reforma and commemorates the nations independence. On the coin, the figure is shown with wings extended and garments flowing. Behind her, the volcanic mountains Popocatpetl and Iztacchuatl form part of the background landscape.

History

The artistic concept behind the Silver Libertad series draws from Mexicos long-standing coin traditions. Much of the inspiration comes from the historic Peso coins of the early 1900s, which featured the well-known Winged Victory figure. Over time, this symbol has become closely tied to Mexican independence and national pride. The Libertad program uses these historical themes while offering a modern bullion coin that competes with global silver issues such as the American Silver Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf.
