Obverse

On the obverse of 2012 Mexican Libertad Silver Coins is the Mexican national coat of arms. The central design shows an eagle standing on a cactus while holding a serpent in its beak, a scene connected to an ancient Aztec legend surrounding the founding of Tenochtitlan. Encircling the modern coat of arms are ten earlier versions of Mexicos national emblem, arranged in a ring that illustrates how the symbol has evolved through different periods of Mexican history. The inscriptions include ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.

Reverse

The reverse of 2012 Libertad 2 oz Silver Coins displays the famous Winged Victory statue, also known as the Angel of Independence. This monument rises above Mexico Citys Paseo de la Reforma and honors the countrys independence movement. On the coin, the figure appears with wings spread and robes flowing. In the distance behind her, the volcanic mountains Popocatpetl and Iztacchuatl help frame the scene. The inscriptions read 2 ONZAS, PLATA PURA, 2012 LEY .999, and the Mo mint mark.

History

The design of the Silver Libertad series reflects Mexicos deep numismatic heritage. Its artwork traces back to historic Peso coins issued in the early 20th century that displayed the well-known image of Winged Victory. This figure has long symbolized Mexican independence and national pride. By drawing on these historic elements, the Libertad series connects the nations past with a modern bullion coin program that stands alongside other global favorites such as the American Silver Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf.
