As seasoned collectors of the popular Mexican series are well-aware, each year's Libertad coin program results in some surprises and unexpecteddevelopments. Last year it was the introduction of a new variety, the Antique silver Uncirculated coins issued in one, two, and five-ounce formats, and therelease of the first-ever gold Reverse Proof coins in half and one-ounce sizes.

For 2019, there have already been two surprises, and more could be in store later in the year. First, the silver Uncirculated and Proof coins are beingreleased earlier than usual. The Uncirculated pieces hit the market in February rather than late spring as is more typical, and the Proof coins have beenstruck and will reach dealers in March. Both versions in silver are issued from 1/20th-ounce coins through one-kilo coins. The kilo pieces are also expected tobe released soon.
