The 2016 Libertad 1 oz Gold Proof<\/strong> is one of the low-mintage modern gold issues of the Mexican Libertad series. Only 2,100 pieces<\/strong> of this year’s 1 oz Proof edition were minted worldwide. <\/p>\n The item offered here has been certified by PCGS with PR69 DCAM<\/strong> . The additional designation DCAM – Deep Cameo<\/strong> refers to the pronounced contrast between the reflective fields and the matte motif elements of a high-quality proof embossing. <\/p>\n PCGS PR69 DCAM<\/strong> The very small PCGS population of this issue is particularly interesting.<\/p>\n Currently, only 8 examples<\/strong> of the 2016-Mo 1 Onza Gold Libertad Proof DCAM are registered under PCGS number 626565:<\/p>\n The piece offered here is therefore one of only five specimens registered with PCGS in PR69 DCAM<\/strong> . Only two coins were valued higher. <\/p>\n For a vintage with an already small total print run of 2,100 copies, this PCGS population is remarkably small.<\/p>\n Gold Libertads differ significantly from many classic bullion gold coins. Production numbers are often low, and the proof issues in particular are aimed at a specialized international collector market. <\/p>\n The 2016 1 oz Gold Libertad Proof<\/strong> was minted only 2,100 times<\/strong> .<\/p>\n This specimen combines several interesting features:<\/p>\n The obverse side depicts the winged goddess of victory, Victoria,<\/strong> in front of the volcanoes Popocat\u00e9petl and Iztacc\u00edhuatl.<\/p>\n Banco de M\u00e9xico uses this motif in reference to the historical Centenario gold coin. The winged Victoria is now one of the most recognizable motifs on Mexican gold coins. <\/p>\n The inscription reads:<\/p>\n 1 ONZA – ORO PURO – 2016 – LEY .999<\/strong><\/p>\n The mint mark Mo<\/strong> stands for Casa de Moneda de M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n The coat of arms features the Mexican national coat of arms with an eagle and a snake in the center. Surrounding the current state coat of arms are ten historical variations of the Mexican coat of arms. <\/p>\n In proof minting, the coins are produced with special effort to achieve highly reflective fields and clearly defined designs.<\/p>\n PCGS has also designated this piece as DCAM – Deep Cameo<\/strong> . This describes the particularly strong contrast between the fields and the raised motifs. <\/p>\n Especially in the close-up shots, Victoria, the volcanic landscape and the fine structures of the various Mexican coats of arms are very clearly visible.<\/p>\n The focus of the 2016 Libertad is not solely on the value of a troy ounce of gold.<\/p>\n The combination of<\/p>\n 2016 – 1 oz Gold – Proof – only 2,100 minted – PCGS PR69 DCAM – only 2 higher graded<\/strong><\/p>\n This makes this specimen particularly interesting for specialized Libertad collectors and collectors of certified modern gold coins.<\/p>\n The unusually small PCGS population reinforces the numismatic character of this already low-denomination proof issue.<\/p>\n Mexico – 2016 – Libertad – 1 oz Gold – Proof – PCGS PR69 DCAM. Only 2,100 pieces minted worldwide. PCGS currently lists only 5 examples in PR69 DCAM, and only 2 are graded higher.
