Mexico – 2016 – Libertad – 1/10 oz Gold Proof – PCGS PR69DCAM – Cert. 59412671

The Mexican Gold Libertad is among the most internationally renowned modern gold coins. The proof versions, in particular, are of interest to collectors due to their relatively small mintages.

This 2016 example contains 1/10 oz of .999 fine gold and has been certified by PCGS with PR69DCAM . PR69 signifies near-perfect proof condition. The designation DCAM, Deep Cameo, describes the strong contrast between the reflective areas and the matte motif elements.

Only 2,100 pieces of the 2016 Libertad 1/10 oz Gold Proof were minted . This combines a classic Libertad year with a low proof mintage and a very high PCGS rating.

The motif of liberty

The obverse side depicts the winged goddess of victory, Victoria, in front of the two volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. This motif is closely associated with Mexican independence and shapes the appearance of the modern Libertad series.

The edge bears the inscriptions 1/10 ONZA , ORO PURO , the year of issue 2016, the fineness LEY .999 and the mint mark Mo .

The coat of arms side shows the Mexican state coat of arms with the eagle and the snake, as well as the inscription ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS .
