Historical context
This medal in silver, bearing the National Coat of Arms, was issued by the Sociedad Numismática de México in 1970. The society, founded on September 11, 1952, is the country's most important association of collectors and scholars of coins, medals, and banknotes.
Known by its initials, the society has been a pillar of Mexican numismatics, organizing conventions, exhibitions, and lectures, and promoting the study of national pieces. Its annual medals are highly prized by collectors.
Cataloged by Grove as 1096a, this piece with the national coat of arms belongs to the series of the society's own issues. These medals, struck for its members and events, form an endearing chapter of Mexican medallic art, since they are made by the collector community itself. The minting was usually carried out by the Mint of Mexico.
Description
The "Sociedad Numismática de México. Escudo Nacional" medal was struck in 1970. It is made of silver, measures 38.29 mm in diameter and weighs 24.95 grams, struck in Mexico. In the specialized catalog it appears referenced as Grove, Medals of México, II #1096a.
Being a silver medal, its value has a floor: the precious-metal content (24.95 grams). Above that, what pushes it higher is condition, how short the issue was, and interest in the theme it commemorates (Sociedad Numismática de México. Escudo Nacional). A piece with no wear and its original case is worth considerably more than one that has been handled.
