Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Mexican Gold Libertads features the national coat of arms of Mexico. This modern seal is inspired by the Codex Mendoza from 1524, depicting an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, eating a snakean important symbol in Aztec culture.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2024 1/20 oz Gold Libertad Coin shows the statue of Winged Victory. This symbolic figure of Mexican Independence is seen standing atop the Mexican Independence Victory Column in Mexico City, with the volcanic peaks of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl in the background.

History

Gold Libertad coins were launched in 1981, featuring the same design used on the 50 Peso Gold Centenario coin, originally issued in 1921 to celebrate Mexico’s 100th year of independence from Spain. The designs were updated in 2000 to include modern versions of the national seal and the Winged Victory.
