Historical context
This gold example, presented in a case and marked PRUEBA, belongs to the series of the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the National University of Mexico, the country's most traditional law school.
Proof pieces were struck in short mintages, often as a sample of the design or for special presentation to figures connected with the institution. Its reduced module, barely sixteen millimeters, places it among the minor commemorative tokens rather than among large-format medals.
The year 1950 was significant for the University, on the eve of the move to Ciudad Universitaria. The striking of this type of fine piece in precious metal was carried out by the Mexican Mint, which added these institutional commissions to its monetary work.
Description
The "Facultad de Jurisprudencia. Estuche. PRUEBA" medal was struck in 1950. It is made of gold, measures 16 mm in diameter and 1.81 grams.
Being a gold medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (1.81 grams). Above that, what lifts it is condition, the short run of the issue, and interest in the theme it commemorates (Facultad de Jurisprudencia. Estuche. PRUEBA). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than one that has been handled.
