Obverse

The obverse of the 2018 Proof Mexican Gold Libertad features the national coat of arms of Mexico. This design is based on ancient Aztec symbolism found in the Codex Mendoza and shows a golden eagle in left-profile perched on a cactus, holding a snake in its beak. According to legend, this image guided the Aztecs to the location of their future capital.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2018 1/20 oz Proof Gold Libertad, youll see the figure of Winged Victory standing atop the Angel of Independence column. Behind her, the snowcapped volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl are visible in the background, giving the scene a distinct and meaningful setting.

History

Known locally as “El ngel,” the Angel of Independence monument is a major landmark in Mexico City. It was completed in 1910 to celebrate the centennial of the start of the Mexican independence movement. The 45-meter column is topped with a bronze statue of Nike, the goddess of victory, symbolizing freedom and resilience.
