Historical context
This medal commemorates the centennial of Banco Nacional de Mexico (Banamex), founded on June 2, 1884 from the merger of Banco Nacional Mexicano and Banco Mercantil Mexicano. It was the country's first great private bank, with functions almost like a state bank, and for more than a century it led the Mexican financial system.
Adding a hundred years onto 1884 confirms the 1984 date. The occasion carried enormous symbolic weight, since it coincided with a delicate moment following the 1982 bank nationalization.
Struck in silver, the piece belongs among the anniversary commercial medals, commissions with which institutions celebrated their history and prestige.
Description
The "Banamex. 100 Aniversario" medal was struck in 1984. It is made of silver, measures 37.98 mm in diameter and weighs 28.07 grams, minted in Mexico.
Since it is a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (28.07 grams). Above that, what drives it up is condition, how short the issue was, and interest in the subject it commemorates (Banamex. 100 Aniversario). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth quite a bit more than a mishandled one.
