The coins are .999 fine silver or fine gold. On one side of the coin is a winged Victoria of Mexican Independence Victory Column in front of a landscape with the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl. The opposite side shows the coat of arms of Mexico.[1] The new version has the Winged Victoria in another angle, and the opposite side shows the coat of arms of Mexico surrounded by historical Mexican coats of arms. The original design is based in Centenario gold Mexican coin.

*On July 31, 2015, APMEX put for sale a 2-coin set featuring the first ever reverse proof Libertad; the second coin in the set was a one-ounce Proof coin. The sets came in a display box with the Banco de Mexico and APMEX logos. The initial price was $199 and more than doubled to $499 by the end of the day. Only 500 sets were produced and, according to Don Bailey, a primary distributor for Banco de Mexico in the U.S., the reverse proof is exclusive to APMEX. Update an additional 1000 3 piece sets with Reverse Proofs were made for the 90th anniversary of the Banco de Mexico and sold internally to bank employees.
