2022 1/2 oz NGC PF-70 Mexican Gold Libertad Proof Coin

2022 ½ oz NGC PF-70 Mexican Proof Gold Libertads

For many centuries, governments worldwide used silver and gold coins as currency. Mints would strike them on a large scale to meet the market demand under predetermined specifications. After the debasement of precious metals as commodity money and the widespread introduction of a complete fiat currency system worldwide, gold and silver remained valuable assets for investment purposes.

Since the 70s, many national mints have introduced bullion coins as an investment option. Some of which include the Gold Krugerrand from South Africa, the Gold Maple Leafs in Canada, and in the 80s the Gold Eagles in the US, and the Gold Libertads in Mexico.

The Libertad series brought great success to the Mexican Mint. The release of the 1 oz gold coin followed by fractional sizes made this mint one of the most sought-after in the bullion market.

The Libertad Collection is available in silver and gold bullion, in brilliant uncirculated condition, proof and reverse proof finishes, with varied sizes: the traditional 1 oz, and the fractions: 1/20, 1/10, ¼, and this ½ oz coin.

For improved numismatic value, NGC-graded Proof Gold Libertads are now available from SD Bullion to sate any collector’s enthusiasm.
