2022 1/10 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coin (In Capsule)

When the Proof Gold Libertad Series was introduced in 1989, only one coin weight was issued and it was the only one that would be available until 2004. Following that 1989 issue of a 1/2 oz gold coin, the series resumed in 2004 with only a 1/4 oz gold coin offered. In 2005, 1 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz gold coins joined the collection.

Since 2005, the 1/10 oz Proof Mexican Gold Libertad has been available on an annual basis, with only the 2012 date mark missing. That particular year featured no coins from the mint. The highest mintage of 1/10 oz Proof Gold Libertads was 2,100 coins in 2016. Only five date marks of the 17 in the series have featured a mintage above 1,000 coins, with four of those five occurring between 2016 and 2019.

Obverse design elements on 2022 Proof Mexican Gold Libertad Coins include the national coat of arms of Mexico. This design shows a powerful golden eagle that is devouring a snake using its beak and talons to control the serpent. The eagle is in left-profile relief with a prickly pear cactus beneath its talons. Around the field, the coin has an oak-and-laurel wreath and the inscription of the nation of issue.
