5 oz Silver Libertad Reverse Proof
The 5 oz Silver Libertad coins in .999 fine silver feature the coat of arms of Mexico on the obverse surrounded by the historical Mexican coats of arms. This coin has a beautiful reverse proof finish, and is the sixth year of release of the Reverse Proof 5 oz Silver Libertad. Previous releases have sold out quickly, and are popular among collectors. The reverse design on the coin features the two volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, which have a legendary love story tied to them. The legend based on Aztec mythology tells the story of these two volcanoes who were once star-crossed lovers – the princess Iztaccíhuatl and the brave warrior Popocatépetl. Iztaccíhuatl’s father demands that Popocatépetl defeat their enemy before taking the princess as his bride. While the brave warrior fights and defeats the enemy, a rival spreads false news to the ruler that Popocatépetl has been defeated. When Iztaccíhuatl learns of this, she falls ill and dies from heartbreak. The Gods turn the humans into these two mountains so that the lovers can finally be together.
