2024 Gold Libertads
Introduced in 1981, the Mexican Gold Libertad made its debut as a gold bullion coin from the Mexican Mint, 60 years after the 1921 Gold Centenario was issued to celebrate Mexico’s centennial of independence. Although the design of the Gold Libertad has changed over the years, its iconic imagery still resonates with the nation’s history and remains popular among investors and numismatists.
2024 Coins
Each year, the Mexican Gold Libertad is available in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), Proof, and Reverse Proof finishes. The series includes five different weights: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz gold, all of which are offered in BU and Proof. Since 2018, the Mexican Mint has also provided a Reverse Proof option in 1 oz and 1/2 oz gold. Proof coins feature frosted design elements against mirrored fields, while Reverse Proof coins showcase mirrored designs over frosted backgrounds.
Background on the Symbols
The Gold Libertad bullion coins display the Mexican coat of arms on the obverse and the goddess of Victory on the reverse. The design is inspired by ancient depictions of the Roman goddess Victoria.
In Roman art and iconography, Victoria was typically depicted as a winged figure, symbolizing her ability to swiftly bring victory to those she favored. She was often shown holding or offering a laurel wreath, a symbol of triumph and honor in the ancient world. In some depictions, she carried a palm branch, another symbol of victory, or stood atop a globe, representing Rome’s dominion over the world.
According to Aztec mythology, their gods instructed them to build their city where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a snake. This vision, which the Aztecs reportedly witnessed on what is now Mexico City, became the foundation of Tenochtitlan and later formed the basis of the Mexican coat of arms.
