Historical context
This medal in gold commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Zacatecas in 1964, one of the decisive confrontations of the Mexican Revolution.
On June 23, 1914, the División del Norte under Francisco Villa took Zacatecas after a fierce and bloody battle, defeating the forces of Victoriano Huerta's regime. The fall of the city opened the road for the revolutionaries toward Mexico City and marked a turning point in the conflict.
Cataloged by Grove as 912, this gold piece celebrates the half-century of that Villista feat. Striking a Revolution anniversary in precious metal underscored its place in the national memory. The Mexico City Mint was responsible for these issues that recall the great battles of the armed movement.
Description
The "Batalla de Zacatecas. 50 Aniversario" medal is a commemorative gold piece struck in 1964 in Mexico that pays tribute to one of the decisive victories of the Mexican Revolution half a century after it took place. With 41.15 grams of gold and 38 millimeters in diameter, it is a substantial issue intended for the collector and for anyone who values the country's historical commemorations.
Since it is made of gold, its value starts from a clear floor: the precious-metal content of its 41.15 grams. Above that, what drives it up is condition, how short 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 handled.
