The Angel of Independence (Winged Victory) statue from Mexico City, holding a broken chain (symbolizing freedom) and a laurel wreath.

Reverse

Mexico's national coat of arms (eagle on cactus devouring a serpent), surrounded by smaller historical versions of the Mexican coat of arms.

Why investors choose it

Lower mintages than the Eagle / Maple / Krugerrand mean better long-term numismatic potential, plus a distinctive design that stands out in a stack.
