This specimen was lot 72255 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $144. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Mexico|MEXICO]]. Onza, 2009-Mo. Mexico City Mint. NGC PROOF-69 Ultra Cameo. Mintage: 10,000. A wonderful proof offering delivering immediate visual appeal, this nearly flawless proof radiates with a vivid cameo contrast and avoids any signs of handling, tone, or haze." 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. Proof Libertads have been issued sporadically since 1983. This subtype is listed for 2000-17.

''Specification:'' 31.1 g, .999 fine silver, 1.00 troy oz ASW, reeded edge, 40 mm diameter.
