Mexico 1 onza Libertad KM-494.2 w/ Custom Olympic Rings proof silver coin 1990

The 1990 Mexico 1 Onza Libertad KM-494.2 is a distinctive .999 fine silver proof coin featuring a custom Olympic rings element that gives this example unusual sporting appeal. The reverse presents the classic Winged Victory, or Angel of Independence, with raised wings, flowing drapery and a laurel wreath held high in her right hand. Five Olympic rings appear above the figure, while the volcanic peaks Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl form the background. The inscriptions include 1 ONZA, PLATA PURA, 1990 MEXICO and LEY .999. The obverse displays Mexico’s national coat of arms: a powerful eagle gripping a snake while perched on a prickly pear cactus, framed below by oak and laurel branches and surrounded by ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. The deeply reflective proof fields emphasize the feathers, cactus pads, snake, mountains and classical figure. Combining Mexican Libertad iconography with an Olympic-themed custom detail, this silver piece is especially attractive for collectors of sports, Mexican and unusual world issues.
