Homepage / Bullion Coins: Mexican Libertad / 1 kilo. Mexican Silver Libertad
Last Updated on 03/09/2025
In 2002, the Mexican Mint introduced the 'Proof' version of the 1-kilo Mexican Silver Libertad for collectors.
It wasn't until 2008 that the Mint started to produce a 1-kilo. 'Bullion' version of the silver Libertad.
Libertad, translated in English, means "Freedom."
The Silver Libertad is a symbol of Mexico's Independence; Mexico won its independence from Spain on August 24th, 1821.
However, this is not the date of its celebrated "Independence Day," that date is September 16th.
On September 16th, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, started the Mexican War of Independence when he gave his famous speech 'Grito de Dolores' or 'Cry of Delores,' named after the town in Guanajuato where it took place.
He rang the bell of his church to get the town's attention, and he called on the people to rise against their Spanish-European occupiers.
Note: Outside of Mexico, 'Cinco de Mayo' is often misinterpreted as Mexico's Independence Day. Although 'Cinco de Mayo' or the '5th of May' does celebrate an important victory in Mexico's history, it's not the county's Independence Day.
Obverse
The Mexican National Coat of Arms is the center focal point of the obverse side of the 1-kilo Mexican Silver Libertad.
The Coat of Arms depicts a Mexican Golden Eagle perched upon a cactus with a snake in its beak, it symbolizes Tenochtitlan, the Aztec Capital, now Mexico City.
The wreath below the eagle is half oak leaves and half laurel leaves.
The laurel leaves represent victory, and the oak leaves commemorate those who have given their lives for Mexico.
Inscriptions:
Encircling the Mexican Coat of Arms are reproductions of other versions of the Mexican Coat of Arms used throughout history.
This version of the Mexican Coat of Arms has been used since 1968.
The Edge on the 1 kilo Silver Libertad is Reeded.

Reverse

The Angel design depicts her soaring above the volcanic peaks of Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl.

The 1kg Mexican Silver Libertad is legal tender, but it lacks a face value.

The Story Behind the Mexican Coat of Arms
In the early 1300s, an Aztec tribe
also known as the Mexica tribe, who had no homeland, wandered around the
northern areas of the country, known as Mesoamerica, in search of a
place to build their Empire.
As the legend goes, in 1323, the tribe's leader received a vision in a dream that they were to settle at the place where they saw an eagle with a snake in its beak, while perched at the top of a prickly pear cactus.
Two years later, the dream was fulfilled on a swampy island, in Lake Texcoco.
Scouts for the tribe found the eagle, snake, and cactus in the same fashion that the leader described to them, in his vision.
This is where the tribe settled and built the city of Tenochtitlan, (tuh·nowch·teet·laan) which became the center of the Aztec Empire.
Today, Tenochtitlan is Mexico City.
