The Coin’s Value

Despite not having a face value imprinted on the coin’s face, just like the South African Gold Krugerrand, Mexico's federal government provides them with legal tender status based on the gold spot price. These coins contain ½ troy ounce of .999 fine gold content. In other words, you can expect it to have a face value of at least half a troy ounce of gold within Mexican territory. Nevertheless, Gold Libertads are appreciated worldwide as one of the most sought-after gold bullion coins among investors.

The Gold Libertad Design

The Libertad design represents a lot of the history of the independence of Mexico from Spain.

The reverse features the current nation’s seal surrounded by the words: “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.”

The obverse showcases their most significant symbol of freedom: the Winged Victory. This image is the feminine depiction of the nation, which carries a crown of the wreath in her right hand and broken chains of slavery in her left hand. The words engraved on this side relate to the coin's information: weight, purity, metal content, and year of mintage. They say: “1 ONZA ORO PURO”, and “LEY .999.”
