Mexico – 1981 – 1 Onza – Libertad – Gold – Uncirculated – NGC MS65 – Key-Date – Cert 4723807-007

This 1981 Mexican gold coin depicts the iconic goddess of victory, Libertad, in front of the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl and is considered one of the early and most sought-after issues of the modern Libertad series. As such, this coin possesses not only intrinsic precious metal value but also an independent collector’s value, stemming primarily from its historical significance and the limited availability of well-preserved examples.

Since the Libertad was issued from 1981 onwards, this first issue year is also considered the ” key date ” for this coin.

Furthermore, this piece was certified by NGC with MS65 . Especially with the 1981 Gold Libertads, coins in this high condition are significantly rarer on the market. Many copies of this edition show signs of wear or handling, which is why high-quality pieces like this one are only rarely offered. This makes it an attractive and irreplaceable addition to sophisticated collections of Mexican gold coins.
