Historical context
The Pan-American conferences brought together the countries of the continent to address commercial, legal, and cooperation matters. The second of these conferences was held in Mexico City in 1901 and 1902, a diplomatic event of great importance to the Porfiriato.
This large 1901 bronze medal commemorates that gathering. Hosting the Pan-American conference was an opportunity for Mexico to show its modernity before the American nations, in line with the regime's eagerness to project a civilized image.
Engraved by E. Moral, the piece is a testimony to Porfirian diplomacy and to Porfirio Díaz's will to insert Mexico into the concert of nations. It documents a moment when the Mexican capital was a center of continental politics.
