The coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and represent one of the lower minted options each year. Like the other fractional-ounce coins, the 1/4 oz Silver Libertad hit its highest mintage in its second year of availability in 1992. The prior year’s release, 2022, had a mintage of just 4,150 coins.

In 1991, the Mexican Mint introduced the four fractional-ounce coins in the Silver Libertad Series. In addition to the 1/4 oz Libertad, the mint introduced 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/2 oz weights. Five years later, in 1996, 2 oz and 5 oz silver coins were added to the series.

The obverse side of 2023 Mexican Silver Libertad Coins comes with a depiction of the coat of arms of Mexico. The modern seal for the nation depicts a powerful golden eagle locked in battle with a serpent. The two creatures are on the arm of a prickly pear cactus with an oak-and-laurel wreath beneath.

On the reverse field of 2023 1/4 oz Silver Libertad Coins, you will find the image of Winged Victory. A symbol of Mexican independence, Winged Victory is based on the goddess Victoria and is shown in three-quarter-left-profile relief with wings on her back, a laurel wreath in her right hand, and broken chains in her left.
