Description
The silver Libertad, a one troy ounce pure silver coin, is produced by La Casa de Moneda de Mexico in Mexico City. It is the oldest mint in either north or south America. The Casa de Moneda was founded in 1535 by Antonio de Mendoza, the regional Viceroy, under decree from the Spanish Crown. Coins produced there, such as the silver 8 real, were among the most widely circulated in the Americas and in Asia until the 18th century.
The Libertad features the Angel of Independence. The design was modeled after the famous golden statue — the Monumento a la Indepencia — located on Mexico City’s Paseo de la Reforma in the city’s downtown. The monument commemorates victory in Mexico’s war for independence from Spain. The Angel holds a laurel crown in one hand — a symbol of victory. In the other hand is a broken chain why symbolizes freedom.
