The Mexican Mint has a great catalog of silver coins and gold coins to investors who found in bullion an interesting way to diversify their investment portfolio. With varied sizes and designs annually issued, the Silver Libertad program brings to the market modern silver coins which combine high quality bullion extracted from the abundant Mexican ores and the beloved design that reminds the Gold Centenario back in 1921.

Despite not having a face value, the Mexican Silver Libertads are legal tender. The Mexican Central Bank guarantees their value based on their metal content. In other words, on the silver spot price.

The Mint released the 5 oz version of the Silver Libertards in 1996, along with the 2 oz silver coins, as an extension of the Silver Libertad Program catalog which had already introduced the traditional 1 oz and the fractional sizes into the market.

The designs showcased in these coins are very connected to Mexican Independence and bring to the spotlight icons of their folk.

The obverse has an elegant depiction of the Winged Victoria, the feminine personification of the nation and also the Roman goddess of victory. Behind her, we see two mountains representing the eternal love of two folk personalities. Engravings are present with the words “5 ONZAS PLATA PURA”, “LEY .999”, which translating to English indicates weight, metal content and purity, and the mint year.

The reverse carries the Mexican Coat of Arms in a central disposition and other ten variations of this image surrounding the central one, in a circular pattern. The only inscription we find on this side of the coin is “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS”, on the upper rim
