Historical context
This silver medal was issued by the Sociedad Numismática de México in 1971. The society, founded in 1952, brings together the collectors and scholars of national numismatics.
Each year the society strikes a commemorative medal, often tied to its annual convention, which has become a tradition closely followed by the community of enthusiasts. These pieces document the associative life of Mexican numismatics and usually have limited mintages.
Cataloged by Grove as 1104a, this 1971 issue is part of that continuous series of annual medals. Collecting the complete series of the society's medals is a frequent goal among enthusiasts. The striking of these pieces was usually entrusted to the Mexican Mint, lending quality and prestige to the guild's issues.
Description
The medal of the Sociedad Numismática de México, struck in 1971, is a piece conceived by and for collectors: it celebrates the very community that in Mexico has shaped the study of coins. Wrought in silver, it makes an endearing object for those who live the hobby from the inside.
This medal measures 38.14 millimeters in diameter and weighs 25.06 grams of silver. Because it is precious metal, its value starts from a clear floor: the fine-silver content. Above that, what drives it up is condition, how short the issue was, and interest in the theme it commemorates. A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than a handled one.
