Mexican Libertad 1 oz Silver 1984
"The Angel of Independence (Spanish: El Ángel de la Independencia), officially known as the Independence Monument. It is a victory column located on the Paseo de la Reforma roundabout in central Mexico. It was built in 1910 to commemorate the centenary of the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence. In later years, it was transformed into a mausoleum of the most important heroes of that war. It is one of the most recognisable monuments in Mexico and has become a focal point for celebrations and protests of all kinds. The column is 36 metres high and is topped by a statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in the form of an Angel with outspread wings. In her right hand, this Angel holds a laurel wreath ( symbol of victory) and in her left hand a broken chain (symbol of freedom)."
