Bolsa Mexicana de Valores Medal. 90th Anniversary (1984)

This medal commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Mexican Stock Exchange, whose origins go back to the founding of the Mexico City stock exchange in 1894, when a group of brokers sought to give an institutional framework to the trading of public and private securities.

Adding ninety years to 1894 confirms the date of 1984. The Exchange became established as the heart of the Mexican capital market and a central piece of the national financial system.

Wrought in bronze and of large module, more than seven centimeters in diameter, it is a commercial medal of monumental format, of the kind destined for recognition plaques and high-ranking institutional gifts.

The "Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. 90 Aniversario" medal was struck in 1984. It is made of bronze, measures 75.4 mm in diameter and 234.9 grams.

As a bronze medal, its value comes not from the metal but from what it commemorates: the event it celebrates, its age (era 1910 to the present), and the demand among collectors of the theme. Condition and the rarity of the issue are what drive the price.
