Historical context
This medal is connected to Guadalupe Victoria, the first president of Mexico after the consummation of Independence, whose real name was José Miguel Ramón Adaucto Fernández y Félix. He adopted his nom de guerre in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the idea of the insurgent victory.
Classified by Grove among the proclamations and oaths, the piece is linked to the solemn acts of the transition to independent Mexico, when oaths of loyalty to the new order were celebrated. Guadalupe Victoria led that first republican government between 1824 and 1829.
Struck in bronze by the engraver José M. Guerrero, it has no recorded year. Its value lies in the connection to the country's first president and to the founding moment of the Mexican Republic, represented in the medallic art of the period.
Description
The "Guadalupe Victoria" medal is part of the Mexican numismatic heritage. It is made of bronze, measures 41.71 mm in diameter and weighs 24.33 grams, the work of engraver José M. Guerrero. In the specialized catalog it is referenced as Grove, Medals of México, II #70b.
As a bronze medal, its value comes not from the metal but from the commemorative: the event it celebrates, its age (the 1821–1910 era), and demand among collectors of the theme. Condition and the rarity of the issue are what drive the price.
