Historical context
This silver medal, of good size and weight, commemorates the Faculty of Jurisprudence, the law school of the National University of Mexico, one of the oldest and most traditional in the country.
The training of lawyers in Mexico has colonial roots, and the Faculty of Jurisprudence was for decades the breeding ground for much of the country's political and judicial class. By 1950 university life was preparing for its great move to Ciudad Universitaria.
Pieces of this type were awarded at academic ceremonies, anniversaries or as recognition, and were usually commissioned from specialized workshops or from the Mexican Mint. Its large-module format, close to sixty millimeters, places it among the table medals meant more for display than for wearing.
Description
The "Facultad de Jurisprudencia" medal was struck in 1950. It is made of silver, measures 60 mm in diameter, and weighs 98.22 grams.
Being a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (98.22 grams). Above that, what drives it up is condition, how short the issue was, and interest in the theme it commemorates (Facultad de Jurisprudencia). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than a handled one.
