Historical context
This gold medal commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Bank of Mexico in 1965. The country's central bank was inaugurated on September 1, 1925, so this piece marks four decades of the institution's life.
The Bank of Mexico was born to bring order to a chaotic monetary system and restore confidence in paper money. Over forty years it consolidated its role as sole issuer of banknotes, guardian of the reserves, and regulator of credit and the exchange rate, functions that define a modern central bank.
Cataloged by Grove as B-82, this small-module gold piece celebrates that anniversary. The central bank's anniversary medals are a constant chapter of Mexican medallic art. The minting of these issues fell to the Mexican Mint.
Description
The 40th Anniversary medal of the Banco de México, struck in gold in 1965, celebrates four decades of the institution that ordered the country's monetary life. Its small format, 21.88 millimeters and 8.29 grams of gold, makes it a commemorative piece highly prized by those who collect both financial history and precious metal.
Because it is made of gold, its value has a clear floor: the fine metal content of 8.29 grams. Above that, what drives the price up is the condition, how small the issue was, and interest in the subject it commemorates. A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than one that has been mishandled.
