This is an uncirculated silver bullion item - not a collector's item - and comes delivered unprotected from the Mint. It is therefore likely that spots or tarnish will appear over time or be present when the coin is delivered.

Mexican Libertad Silver Bullion Coins were first minted in 1982 and are struck annually for investors (bullion) and collectors (proof). A beautiful winged angel design has been portrayed on the coin since its inception, but a re-design occurred in 1996 to "make it more attractive," the Mexican Mint said. That design, which is still used today, depicts the spectacular Angel of Independence - an eight ton golden statue on top of a tall slender column in Mexico City.

Since 1996, the obverse features the Independence Angel - the symbol of Mexico - standing in front of the twin volcanoes Ixtacihuatl and Popocatepetl, the fineness and amount of silver, the date, and the name of the issuing country. The reverse features an eagle battling a snake, surrounded by a wreath and the words "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS". The edge is milled.
