Reverse

Depicts Mexico 1 Onza (KM# 494.1) (Angel of Independence of Mexico dividing the weight of coin and metal, date, country name and purity below all in Spanish with mountains in the background) within a circle surrounded by inscription and date below.

The Angel of Independence, most commonly known by the shortened name El Ángel and officially known as Monumento a la Independencia ("Monument to Independence"), is a victory column on a roundabout on the major thoroughfare of Paseo de la Reforma in downtown Mexico City.

The Libertad coins are silver and gold bullion coins from Mexico, minted by La Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest mint in the Americas, established in 1535. The coins, containing 99.9% silver or gold, are available in various sizes but have no face value, though they are legal tender backed by Banco de México. In addition to bullion versions, proof and reverse proof versions are produced for collectors.

The obverse of the coin features the Mexican coat of arms, showcasing a golden eagle on a cactus, symbolizing the founding of Tenochtitlan. Since 2000, the silver Libertad obverse was updated to include 10 historic versions of the national emblem. The reverse depicts the winged Victoria of Angel of Independence with volcanoes in the background, a design inspired by the 1921 gold Centenario. Older Libertad coins used a different depiction of the angel, with design changes occurring in the mid-1990s for both silver and gold series.
