Vintage Onza Tribute – 1 oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Intaglio Mint
Description:
A classic reborn.
Before the modern Libertad captured the hearts of collectors, Mexico’s bullion pride was the “Onza” — a bold, unadorned statement of silver purity. Struck from 1980 to 1989 by the Casa de Moneda de México, the original Onza carried the timeless imagery of the Winged Victory standing proudly before Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, with the Mexican coat of arms on the reverse.
This Vintage Onza Tribute from Intaglio Mint faithfully recreates that iconic design with meticulous detail, now struck in .999 fine silver to modern standards. The obverse features the Winged Victory, arm raised high, the mountains sweeping behind her, framed by the weight and purity inscriptions. The reverse bears Mexico’s proud national emblem — the golden eagle in mid-strike upon a cactus, snake in beak and talon, surrounded by ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.
Whether you remember the original or are discovering it for the first time, this tribute offers a tangible link to a golden era in world bullion history.
