Mexican Libertad coins are available in silver, gold, and platinum, with versions including bullion, proof, and proof-like coins. The Mexican Silver Libertad is the most diverse product in the series, with eight weights and three different versions. The bullion coin was introduced in 1982, followed by proof coins in 1986, and a proof-like 1 kilogram coin in 2002.

The Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coin originated in 1983 as a 1 oz coin that was struck for one year, then suspended until 1986. From 1986 to 1991, only the 1 oz weight was available. Four fractional-weight coins were introduced in 1996, followed by the 2 oz and these 5 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertads in 1996.

On the obverse face of all 2015 5 oz Proof Mexican Silver Libertad coins is the image of the statue of Winged Victory. Bearing the image of the Angel of Independence, Winged Victory is a representation of the nations successful struggle for freedom from Spanish rule. Engravings include the coins weight, metal content, year of minting, and purity. A Mexican Mint mark of OM is also included.

The reverse face bears the coat of arms for Mexico. In the image, the modern coat of arms is situated in the center, and surrounded by 10 historic versions of the coat of arms used by the Mexican government since 1820.

Mexican Mint products are all authorized and overseen by the Banco de Mexico, the nations central bank. Mexican Silver Libertad coins have no issued face value, existing instead with a floating face value that makes them impossible to use as legal tender.
