Servicio Panamericano Medal. 35th Anniversary (2000)

This medal celebrates the 35th anniversary of Servicio Panamericano de Protección, a Mexican company dedicated to the transport of valuables and to security, founded in the 1960s. With its armored vehicles, it became part of the landscape of the country's banking and commercial system.

Reaching thirty-five years places the milestone in the year 2000. Celebrating that trajectory with a struck piece reinforced the firm's image of solidity and trust before banks and clients.

Struck in silver, of good size and weight, the piece belongs to the medals of corporate anniversary, of the kind commissioned to give to executives, employees, and clients as an institutional keepsake of the milestone.

What it shows

A triangular medal struck at the Casa de Moneda de México. The obverse bears the monogram OM at the center (Casa de Moneda), surrounded by the legend CASA DE MONEDA DE MÉXICO over a textured background, and at the bottom the year 2000 formed by wavy strokes. The reverse keeps the triangular silhouette and presents a stepped pre-Hispanic platform, Mesoamerican pyramid type, accompanied by geometric lines that evoke the layout of a Pan-American route or service. The ruler in the photograph confirms that the piece is about 5 cm per side.

Context

It is part of the Banco de México Numismatic Collection, the series of commemorative medals that the Casa de Moneda issued at the start of the 2000s. The date 2000 is engraved on the piece itself and matches the recorded year of striking.

Value and collecting

It is not legal-tender currency, so its price depends not on a face value but on the metal and the condition. It is struck in silver, at 53.19 g in weight and 50.2 mm in module, which gives it an appreciable precious-metal content. Condition rules: mirror fields and intact relief separate a collector's piece from a knocked-up one.
