Historical context
This silver medal associates Benito Juárez with president Luis Echeverría, within the cycle of Juárez tributes that marked the sexenio, in the wake of the centennial of the Benemérito's death commemorated in 1972.
The Echeverría government, between 1970 and 1976, cultivated the image of Juárez as an emblem of the republic, sovereignty, and liberalism. These medals, which linked the sitting head of state with the great hero of the 19th century, had an evident function of political legitimation.
The silver piece belongs to the figure medals, in the mode that pairs a historical hero with a contemporary ruler. These issues are testimony to the political use of the Juárez figure. The minting of these commemorative pieces corresponded to the Mexican Mint.
