2022 1 oz Reverse Proof Gold Libertads

Owning a coin collection with varied silver and gold coins can be an exciting hobby. The Libertad Series enchants collectors and investors. The Series offers a vast catalog of coins that goes from the tiny 1/20 oz coin to heavier pieces like the 5 oz coin. 

The kind of finish used during the manufacturing process also varies: the Mexican Mint produces brilliant uncirculated, proof, and reverse proof coins, like this 1 oz Reverse Proof Gold Libertad, available now from SD Bullion.

With this year's mintage level expected to be similar to last year's limit of just 500 coins, these are not expected to last long!

The Libertad Design

The Libertad design has followed the same patterns since its release in 1981, themed around the Mexican Independence.

The obverse showcases the eleven designs created for the National shied over the years. The emblem settled in the center of the coin is the current Coat of Arms, and the words “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” circulate it.

The reverse depicts two symbols of Mexican freedom: the Winged Victory, in front of the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. The inscriptions on this side reflect the coin's weight, metal content, and purity through the phrases: “1 ONZA ORO PURO”, “LEY.999”. The year of mintage is also present.

The Reverse Proof Finish

Contrary to the proof coins, the reverse proof coins receive special treatment on the relief of the coin, so the relief becomes brighter, and the background gets a frosted appearance. Thus, the design becomes more visible and detailed to the touch.
