Since 1991, Mexico has issued silver Libertad coins annually in sizes ranging from 1/20 oz. to 5 oz. pure (999 fine) silver. In 2002, for the first time, Banco de Mexico struck 1 kilogram pure silver Libertads in a limited edition of 1,100 Prooflike Brilliant Uncirculated coins … but these were not offered in the United States. However, the second year of issue 2003 dated kilo Libertads are now available; only 3,000 Prooflike Brilliant Uncirculated coins will be produced. Each kilo Libertad comes in a deluxe mahogany presentation case, with an individually serial numbered 28-page certificate of authenticity. The certificate gives an illustrated history of the Libertad coin series, and contains certain details that are only detectable with black light lamps.

The Winged Angel design used on Libertads beginning in 1996 is based on the Angel of Independence, an eight ton golden statue atop a tall slender column in Mexico City. The reverse of the kilo Libertad features the official state seal of Mexico surrounded by ten eagle designs that have been used through the centuries, including one depicted in the 16th century Mendocino Codex.

The limited edition silver kilo Libertads are available from PandaAmerica, 3460 Torrance Blvd., Suite 100, Torrance, CA 90503. Credit card orders can be placed by calling (800) 472-6327 or e-mailing info@pandaamerica.com.
