Historical context
Silver decoration medal of the Battle of April 2, 1867, commemorating one of the decisive actions of the republican triumph.
On April 2, 1867, General Porfirio Diaz took the city of Puebla in an assault that proved key to the fall of the Second Empire. A few weeks later Queretaro would fall with Maximilian, and then Mexico City, sealing the victory of the Republic led by Juarez.
This decoration honors those who took part in that action under Diaz's command. April 2 became a civic date celebrated during the Porfiriato. The piece is testimony to Diaz's military role in the republican restoration, before he became the strongman of Mexico.

Being a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (12.85 grams). Above that, what drives it up is condition, the small size of the issue, and interest in the theme it commemorates (the Battle of April 2, 1867).
