1987 1 Oz AMC Texas International Mint Viva Mexico Libertad Round PF

This silver round is a replica of Libertad coin issued from 1982 onwards. It was minted by the American Medallion Corporation (AMC) known previously as the Texas International Mint (TIM). Several other coin replica rounds were also produced by TIM in 1987. The mintage is unknown, but the round is rare.

Obverse: The obverse features a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. This is a loose representation of the Mexican Coat of Arms, and the imagery relates to the founding of Tenochtitlan, present-day Mexico City. The text "VIVA MEXICO 1987" arches across the top with the mint mark "TIM" located towards the lower left.

Reverse: The central feature of the reverse is a representation of the 1921 gold Centenario, a coin issued to mark the centennial of Mexican independence. The winged Victoria of Angel of Independence is in front with the volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl in the background. This is the same image found on the older Libertad bullion coins. The weight and composition of "UNA ONZA LEY .999 PLATA PURA" is inscribed along the outer rim at the bottom.
