Obverse

On the obverse side of the 2024 Proof Mexican Silver Libertad, the modern coat of arms of Mexico is displayed. This version of the national seal shows a powerful golden eagle in left-profile relief, perched on a prickly pear cactus while battling a serpent, symbolizing strength and determination.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2024 1/2 oz Proof Silver Libertad Coin features the admired image of Winged Victory on top of the Mexican Independence Victory Column. With her wings spread wide, she holds a laurel wreath in her right hand and broken chains in her left, representing freedom. The dramatic backdrop of the mountains Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl adds to the captivating scene.

History

The Mexican Independence Victory Column, known as the Columna de la Independencia, is a remarkable monument located in the heart of Mexico City. This grand neoclassical structure features a bronze statue of the Greek goddess Nike at its top, celebrating Mexico’s independence from Spain, which occurred in 1821. This significant monument and its statue of Winged Victory are integral to the design of the Mexican Libertad.
