But besides the traditional one troy ounce, the Silver Libertad came along with some fractional sizes, opening the market to more options of silver coins. The Design of the Coin The obverse design features the Winged Victory, the Roman Goddess of victory, which became a beautiful statue in Mexico City.

The reverse features the Mexican Coat of Arms in the center and surrounding it, other ten versions of the same symbol, depicted over the years, in a circular form. On the side, the inscription reads the words: “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.”
