Historical Significance:

The Mexican Silver Libertad was first issued in 1982 as Mexico’s official silver bullion coin, modeled after the historic 50 Peso “Centenario” gold coin from 1921.

• The 1985 issue belongs to the early, low-mintage years, making it scarcer than modern Libertads.
• Unlike other world bullion coins (such as the Silver Eagle or Maple Leaf), the Libertad carries no face value, emphasizing its value based purely on silver content.
