Historical context
This medal commemorates a 50th anniversary of Banco del Centro (Bancen), a credit institution that operated as part of the 20th-century Mexican banking landscape, with roots in the central region of the country.
Bank anniversaries were usually celebrated with commemorative pieces that reinforced the institution's image of solidity and permanence before clients and authorities.
Struck in silver, it belongs to the corporate medals with which Mexican banking marked its milestones. Issues of this kind, with controlled mintages, were distributed among executives, employees and distinguished clients as a memento of the occasion.
Description
The "Banco del Centro. 50 Aniversario" medal was struck in 1985. It is made of silver, measures 38 mm in diameter and weighs 28 grams, struck in Mexico.
Because it is a silver medal, its value has a floor: its precious-metal content (28 grams). Above that, what drives it higher is condition, how short the issue was, and interest in the subject it commemorates (Banco del Centro. 50 Aniversario). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than a mishandled one.
