Design and Symbolism
The obverse of the coin proudly displays the national coat of arms, a design steeped in legend and patriotism. The emblem reflects the ancient Aztec prophecy of an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak, marking the place to build their empire—modern-day Mexico City.

On the reverse, the Winged Victory statue stands as a powerful symbol of Mexican independence. Known officially as the Angel of Independence, she has become a national icon representing freedom and resilience. Behind her rise the peaks of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, two volcanoes that hold a romantic legend in Aztec mythology and stand as eternal guardians of Mexico’s past.

About the Mexican Mint
Founded in 1535, La Casa de Moneda de México is the oldest mint in the Americas. It remains a central institution in the country’s economic and cultural life, producing circulation coinage, commemoratives, and precious metal bullion for Mexico. The Gold Libertad series is one of its most internationally recognized products, renowned for quality, artistic excellence, and collector appeal.

Collectibility and Investment Appeal
The Libertad series stands apart from other global bullion programs by offering unmatched aesthetic beauty, historical depth, and limited mintages. Fractional sizes such as this 1/4 oz coin are especially popular due to their lower cost and high liquidity, making them perfect for both stacking and collecting. Their annual limited mintage often leads to increased premiums over time as older issues become more difficult to acquire.
