Item Description
The 2016 1 oz Mexican Silver Libertad (BU) is a highly sought-after bullion coin produced by the historic Mexican Mint (La Casa de Moneda de México). Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the Silver Libertad series is recognized globally for its exceptional design, limited mintages, and strong collector demand.
First introduced in 1982, the Libertad quickly became one of the most respected modern bullion coins. Unlike many government-issued coins, the Libertad does not carry a face value, yet it remains official Mexican coinage backed by the Banco de México. Its elegant design reflects Mexico’s rich cultural heritage and enduring spirit of independence.
The 2016 release continues the series’ tradition of striking imagery and refined craftsmanship, making it a desirable addition for both silver investors and numismatic collectors.
