Mexican Gold Libertads are the country's official bullion gold coins. Since the Mexican Mint first introduced them in 1981, each annual release has become a worldwide affair, with collectors and investors eager to get their hands on them before supplies run out. In 1981, the mint struck one ounce, ½ oz, and ¼ ounce gold coins. 10 years later in 1991, the 1/10th and 1/20th oz bullion coins were added to the series. These 2020 1/10 oz Mexican Gold Libertads are among the Mexican Mint's lighter fractional-weight gold coins launched this year.
The Mexican Mint was established in 1535 by the Spanish viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza. It allowed the Spanish to mint coins with the vast precious metals resources found in the region. The Spanish crown agreed to create the Mexican Mint because exporting unprocessed raw materials to Spain and returning minted currency was expensive. The Mexican Mint remains the oldest standing mint in the Americas.
Each of these Mexican Gold Libertads is made from 0.999 pure gold and weighs 1/10 troy ounce. Furthermore, they are backed by the Banco de Mexico, Mexico's central bank. Beautiful patterns, high-quality striking, and highly small mintages differentiate Gold Libertads from any other World Gold. As a result, collectors have flocked to this program to secure their coins as soon as the Bank of Mexico releases them.
Both the power and freedom symbols of Mexico appear on the reverses of these coins. The two volcanoes, Popocatépetl and Iztacchuatl, signify liberation, and the depiction of the Winged Victory statue in the foreground is an iconic reminder of Mexico's independence struggle. Mexican Gold Libertads are perhaps the most famous gold bullion coins from the nation of Mexico. Each annual release is a globally anticipated event with stocks running dry soon after its issue.
