Historical context
This medal commemorates the San Luis Potosí plant of the Mexican Mint. Founded in 1535, the national mint is the oldest in the Americas, and throughout the 20th century it modernized and decentralized its production with facilities outside the capital, among them the San Luis Potosí one, which became one of its main minting centers.
Opening a plant in San Luis Potosí responded to the need to increase productive capacity for circulation coins and commemorative pieces.
Struck in brass and small in module, it is an institutional issue that the Mint itself produced to leave a record of its industrial milestones.
