Historical context
The automobile transformed Mexican life in the first decades of the twentieth century, and by the 1940s the country was experiencing the expansion of the auto industry, road construction, and the growth of an increasingly important vehicle market.
This silver medal of 1948 commemorates an Annual Automobile Assembly, an industry gathering that brought together dealers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts. These events reflected the modernization of transport and the growing economic weight of the sector.
The piece is a testament to mid-twentieth-century Mexican modernity, when the automobile was becoming a symbol of progress and an engine of the urban economy. It documents how an emerging industrial sector celebrated its achievements with commemorative medals in the style of the old civic traditions.
Description
The Asamblea Anual del Automóvil Medal dates from 1948 and was struck in silver. At 40.52 mm in diameter and 39.13 grams, it is a large-module piece, the size of a table medal meant to be handed out at a ceremony, not to circulate.
What it commemorates
Its name refers to an annual assembly of the automotive sector held in Mexico in the mid-20th century, an era when dealer and manufacturer associations were beginning to organize on a regular basis. Medals of this type were usually distributed among attendees and directors as a memento of the gathering.
Context
We could not locate an official listing or public catalog documenting the exact design of this piece, so we prefer not to describe motifs we cannot verify. What is firm are its measurements and its metal: silver, 1948, close to 39 grams.
Value and collecting
A medal is not legal tender, so its price does not depend on a face value but on the metal, rarity, and above all condition. In silver of this size, the metal content sets a floor and the state of preservation does the rest. If you want to appraise or sell it, compare with specialists in the stores directory and resolve authentication questions with other collectors on the forum.
