1/4 oz. Mexican Silver
Libertad



In 1991, the Mexican Mint added four fractional-sized Mexican Silver Libertad to the bullion coin series.

The new sizes included the 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz. and the 1/20 oz.



Mexican Independence

Libertad means "Freedom" in Spanish.

The Silver Libertad is a symbol of Mexico's Independence; Mexico won independence from Spain on August 24th, 1821.

Yet, this is not the day Mexico celebrates its Independence Day; that day is September 16th.

On September 16th, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, started the Mexican War of Independence when he gave his famous speech 'Grito de Dolores' or 'Cry of Delores,' named after the town in Guanajuato where it took place.

He rang the bell of his church to get the town's attention, and he called on the people to rise against their brutal Spanish-European occupiers.

Note: Outside of Mexico, 'Cinco de Mayo' is frequently misinterpreted as Mexico's Independence Day, which it isn't, 'Cinco de Mayo' celebrates the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.





Design of the

Obverse

Fractional Silver Mexican Libertad Obverse

The obverse side of the 1/4 oz Silver Libertad displays the National Coat of Arms of Mexico.

The Coat of Arms depicts the Mexican Golden Eagle perched on top of a cactus with a snake in its beak; which symbolizes Tenochtitlan, the Aztec Capital, now Mexico City.

Below the Golden Eagle is a wreath made from one-half of oak leaves, and the other half is of laurel leaves.

The Laurel leaves represent victory and the oak leaves commemorate those who have given their lives for Mexico.

Inscriptions:

  • ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS

The Edge on the 1/4 oz. Silver Libertad is Reeded.

Inscriptions:

  • 1/4 ONZA  (ounce)
  • PLATA PURA  (silver pure)
  • Year of Issue
  • Ley (law)

  • M under a O  (the Mint Mark of the Mexican Mint)

The 1/4 oz. Mexican Silver Libertad is legal tender, but it lacks a face value.

The Story Behind the Mexican Coat of Arms

mexican coat of arms

In the early 1300s, an Aztec tribe also known as the Mexica tribe, who had no homeland, wandered around the northern areas of the country, known as Mesoamerica, in search of a place to build their Empire.

As the legend goes, in 1323, the tribe's leader received a vision in a dream that they were to settle at the place where they saw an eagle with a snake in its beak, while perched at the top of a prickly pear cactus.

Two years later, the dream was fulfilled on a swampy island, in Lake Texcoco.

Scouts for the tribe found the eagle, snake, and cactus in the same fashion that the leader described to them, in his vision.

This is where the tribe settled and built the city of Tenochtitlan, (tuh·nowch·teet·laan) which became the center of the Aztec Empire.

Today, Tenochtitlan is Mexico City.
