2018 Mexico 5 Ounce Silver Libertad NGC MS70 First Releases - Mexico Label

Celebrate the Beauty of the Largest Silver Libertad

While Mexico’s ties to Spain are evident in daily life from the language to bullfights, the country’s citizens take tremendous pride in their independence, which is precisely what Mexico’s world-renowned Libertad coin series celebrates. Mexican silver is world-renowned for its quality and consistency, and has been for over 500 years. The 2018 Silver Libertad follows in that unparalleled tradition.

Silver Libertads from Mexico are popular the world over not only for their silver content, but also for their limited mintages and exquisite beauty. And that beauty has never looked better then on this large 2018-dated coin that is a whopping 65 mm in diameter and struck in five ounces of 99.9% silver! Unlike the regular one-ounce Libertads released each year since 1982; the five-ounce giants are produced in much fewer numbers, making these Libertads even more coveted by collectors.

First released as part of the Silver Libertad Series in 1996, the five-ounce behemoth is the largest coin in the series and features the same design as its smaller counterparts. Now in its 23^rd year of being issued, the Five-Ounce Silver Libertad has exceeded a limited edition of 20,000 only twice, and has reached 10,000 in only three other years!

Your coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in near-perfect Mint State-70 (MS70) condition. In addition, NGC has also certified this silver Libertad to be a First Releases (FR) coin, meaning that it was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. Your Five-Ounce Silver Libertad will be encapsulated in a special coin holder with an exclusive Mexico label.

Like its predecessors, the 2018 Mexico Five-Ounce Silver Libertad coin features one of the most recognizable representations of Mexican independence. Its design of the Winged Victory is based on the statue that stands atop the Mexican Victory Independence Column in Mexico City. The column and statue were erected in 1921 to mark the 100^th anniversary of Mexico’s independence from Spain.

With its pure silver content and limited mintage, the 2018 Five-Ounce Silver Libertad is sure to appeal to coin collectors and silver stackers alike. Don’t delay – add one of these epic silver bullion coins to your collection today!

• THE LATEST IN THE LIBERTAD SERIES – This 2018 Five-Ounce Silver Libertad coin is the latest issue in this extremely popular series, which dates back to 1982.

• CAPTURING NATURAL AND ARTISTIC BEAUTY – The stunning reverse design features Winged Victory, a statue that stands in Mexico City as a symbol of the country’s independence. In the background are the volcanoes Popocatépetl (Popo) and Iztaccíhuatl (Izta) that overlook the Valley of Mexico near Mexico City. The obverse shows Mexico's official seal, an eagle with a snake in mouth, standing on a cactus symbolizing the founding of Mexico City. The emblem is surrounded by the words “Estados Unidos Mexicanos” which translates to United Mexican States – Mexico’s official name. In addition, the seal is surrounded by the different official seals used throughout the history of Mexico.

• STRUCK FROM 99.9% FINE SILVER WITH UNIQUE MINT MARK – Each 2018 Silver Libertad coin was struck from five ounces of 99.9% fine silver at the Mexican Mint – Casa de Moneda de Mexico. Founded in 1535, the Mexican Mint is the oldest mint in North America, and is represented by a unique “oM” mint mark.

• A COIN THAT IS NOT LEGAL TENDER – The Silver Libertad has the unique distinction of being a government issued coin that lacks a face value. This separates it from other popular coins throughout the world. While bearing no denomination, the coin is backed by the Bank of Mexico with the government guaranty of the coin's weight and metal purity stamped right into the surface of the coin, making it a true silver bullion coin.

• GRADED IN PERFECT CONDITION – Your coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in perfect Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

• KEY FIRST RELEASES CERTIFICATION – Your coin will also be certified First Releases (FR) by NGC, meaning that it was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Releases is only a fraction of the total mintage. It will be encapsulated in a special coin holder with an exclusive Mexico label.

The Silver Libertad coin is among the most anticipated issues among collectors every year. The coin exemplifies extraordinary artistic beauty while perfectly representing the tremendous pride that Mexicans have in their country’s rich history. Its design also incorporates pieces of Mexico’s stunning natural beauty.
