his stunning 2024 Mexican Silver Libertad features a unique lapis lazuli background and gold-plated details, creating a striking contrast. On the obverse, Mexico’s iconic “Winged Victory” statue (the Angel of Independence) stands gracefully on its pedestal, surrounded by the inscriptions “1 ONZA PLATA PURA,” “2024,” and “LEY .999.” The reverse displays the current Mexican coat of arms at the center, encircled by historical versions of the eagle emblem and the legend “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS,” all rendered in matching gold plating against the deep blue lapis lazuli backdrop.

Struck with a diameter of 40 mm and weighing 1 troy ounce, this coin is part of a special “Precious Stones” series, indicated by the presentation box that highlights the lapis lazuli accents. The combination of vibrant blue stone effects and shimmering gold plating adds an elegant touch, making it both a collector’s piece and a celebration of Mexican numismatic artistry.

Lapis lazuli is a deep-blue metamorphic rock that has been prized for its vibrant color since ancient times. Composed primarily of the mineral lazurite, it often contains white veins of calcite and sparkling specks of pyrite, giving it a distinctive, speckled appearance. Historically, lapis lazuli was ground into a pigment known as ultramarine, which was used by renowned artists for its intense hue. Found most famously in the mines of Afghanistan, it is also sourced from regions such as Russia and Chile. Lapis lazuli is commonly used in jewelry, decorative objects, and fine art, symbolizing wisdom, royalty, and protection across various cultures.

The Coin is sold in a themed case with Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage of 500 pieces worldwide.
