    I'd love to get one of those but wouldn't know where to get one because I'm worried about it not being legit

    my pleasure:)
    it is a Mexican Medal, struck by the Banco De Mexico
    1 oz .999 pure silver proof
    it is the size 42 mm, so it is thinner than a typical 1 oz coin
    with the edge smooth, not reeded
    NOTE" scratches you see are on the plastic cover, it is proof quality and absolutely flawless

    @ Torcan, It's a young man with boobs...yikes! :)

    Back sucks.



    On the other hand, Libertad's and Aztec Calendar's rock!!!!



    @ Ironwood, the 1 kilo 2013 Libertad proof-like is the creme-dela-creme of all Libertad's (in my view). Nice!

    The Winged Victory? There isn't much info on it at all regarding year/mintage/history etc as it was a privately commissioned round ("aos de servicio" = "Years of service"). There were 3 others on eBay for $85ish when I got mine but they're all gone now. Interestingly it doesn't actually say silver/plata pura on it...

    Have emailed the Banco de Mexico for more info. Also enquired about commissioning a 1kg version :D

    Along with the PL Kilo Aztec, Kilo Lib, proof Libs of different sizes and a few fracs, also have some random ones I picked up from APMEX (they have a good few variations) including these;

    Thanks for that house, guess I'll just have to keep one ear to the ground/fiber optic cable or whatever the modern equivalent is

    I am not really a big fan of the Libertads but that 2011 and 2013 1KG Proofs are very beautiful coins, want.
