The Gold Libertad series is known for its limited mintage, especially compared to other bullion coins. This scarcity enhances their appeal among collectors and investors, often leading to higher premiums in the secondary market.
Libertad Mintage Summary
The Mexican Gold Libertad, first introduced in 1981, has experienced significant fluctuations in mintage numbers over the years, reflecting both market demand and production decisions.
Early Years (1981–1990): In its inaugural year, the 1 oz Gold Libertad had a substantial mintage of 596,000 coins, marking the highest production level in the series’ history. Subsequent years saw a sharp decline, with mintages dropping to 82,000 in 1982 and further down to 34,000 by 1990.
