This specimen was lot 3403 in Aureo y Calicó sale 422 (Barcelona, December 2023), where it sold for 96 € (about US$124 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "México. 1992. 1/20 de onza. AU. S/C- [about uncirculated]." In 1949 the [[Mexico]] City mint issued the world's first [[Mexico 1949-Mo onza|onza]] to modest success. It tried again in 1980 with a resurrection of the 1949 design. In 1982 the medallion (technically, ''Libertads'' are not coins) was redesigned to use the obverse from the 1921 two pesos. The weight was reduced and the fineness increased from .925 to .999 silver. The medallion was an immediate hit. It was the only silver bullion coin on the market for several years and, backed by the Mexican government, outcompeted private mint issues. It inspired imitations such as the U. S. silver eagle (from 1986) and the Canadian Maple Leaf (from 1988) which have cut into its market share to the point where several of the later dates are downright rare. In 1990, the design was revised to change the lettered edge to reeded. In 1991, the lettering was revised, which is most obvious on the denomination. On the first type, the denomination is lettered "onza"; on the second, shown here, the denomination is lettered "OnZa". All the 1992 Libertads have the revised lettering. This issue of 1991-94 was the first time this size was struck in gold.
