Acciones y Valores de Mexico Medal. 20th Anniversary

This medal commemorates the 20th anniversary of Acciones y Valores de México (Accival), one of the most important brokerage houses in the Mexican financial system in the last third of the 20th century. Accival was a prominent player in the stock market before being integrated into larger financial groups.

Financial institutions of this kind commission commemorative medals to mark anniversaries and recognize their trajectory. A twenty-year piece reflects the consolidation of the firm within the world of investments and the stock market in Mexico.

Catalogued by Grove among the commercial issues and struck in silver, of considerable weight, it has no exact recorded year. Its value lies in the link to the history of the Mexican securities market and in the fine-metal content of the piece.

What it shows

The reverse, the main side, carries the brokerage firm's logo (a triangle with an upward arrow that forms the initials A and V), the legend 20 AÑOS CON MÉXICO along the upper border, and the dates 1971-1991 at the bottom. The obverse surrounds the field with ACCIONES Y VALORES DE MÉXICO and finishes at the bottom with Casa de Bolsa, over a stylized design of an eagle and the silhouette of the country.

Context

This is a corporate commemorative medal for the twentieth anniversary of Accival, a brokerage house founded in 1971 and one of the most established securities firms in Mexico. The engraved dates mark exactly that span, 1971 to 1991. The piece is part of a numismatic collection tied to the Banco de México.

Value and collecting

It is not legal tender, so its value is not a face value but a collector value, and two things drive it there: the metal (silver) and the state of preservation. A clean example, free of dings or scratches in the mirrored field, always carries more weight in the market. If you want to price it or sell it, compare references at /tiendas and settle any authentication questions on the /foro.
