Historical context
This medal was issued for a General Industrial Exhibition, within the tradition of contests that in the 19th and early 20th centuries promoted industry, agriculture and the arts in Mexico. Inspired by the great international fairs, these exhibitions sought to boost national production and reward the best exhibitors.
Exhibition medals recognized the award-winning participants and left a record of the event. They were a symbol of progress much valued in a country that aspired to modernize its economy.
Cataloged by Grove among the exhibition pieces and struck in silver, it has no recorded year. Its value lies in documenting the push for industry and the faith in progress that characterized these contests in Mexican history.
Description
The "Exposición General Industrial" medal is part of the Mexican numismatic record. It is made of silver, measures 50.48 mm in diameter and weighs 59.09 grams. In the specialized catalog it is referenced as Grove, Medals of México, II #E-7a.
Being a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious metal content (59.09 grams). Above that, what raises it is condition, the short run of the issue, and interest in the theme it commemorates (Exposición General Industrial). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than one that has been handled.
