Historical context
This medal is connected to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the multilateral organization founded in 1959 to finance the economic and social development of Latin America and the Caribbean. Mexico is among its founding member countries and has been a recipient and a key shareholder throughout its history.
Issues like this one usually accompanied annual meetings, assemblies, or agreements in which the IDB had a presence, leaving a record of regional financial cooperation.
Struck in silver and of good module, the piece belongs to the medals tied to international organizations, commissions distributed among delegates and authorities as an institutional keepsake of the gathering.
Description
The "Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo" medal was struck in 1985. It is made of silver, measures 50 mm in diameter, and weighs 50.98 grams.
As a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (50.98 grams). Above that, what pushes it higher is condition, the small size of the issue, and interest in the subject it commemorates (Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than one that has been handled.
