5) Special Features - Minting Years - History - Mintage
The motif of the Libertad coin, the Goddess of Victory Libertad, symbolizes Mexico's independence. In 1810, the Mexican citizens began their fight against the Spanish colonial rulers who had governed the small country until then. It was only after a decade-long war that the Mexican insurgents emerged victorious in 1821, declaring Mexico's independence. To this day, there are numerous national holidays that commemorate the victory over the colonial power, Spain. Additionally, in 1921, on the hundredth anniversary of this victory, the Centenario coin was first minted. It served as a predecessor to the Libertad coin and already featured the image of the Goddess of Victory Libertad, which remains one of the essential characteristics of today's coin. Since 1981, the current Libertad coin, as we know it, has been minted. In 1991, the gold content was increased (see table above). The Libertad coin is one of the top-selling gold bullion coins.
