Mexican medals have long been ignored. Maybe this post will spark a collecting interest in some of you. References to Grove are to Frank W. Grove's Medals of Mexico Volume II 1821-1971. (c)1972. ISBN 0-88242-005-4. Feel free to comment or ask questions. 1950 Silver medal, 40mm, 29.1g. Mint unknown, mintage unknown. Grove 570a.

Interesting design. looks like the 7th congress of panamerican iron rails. I'm guessing you didn't attend, but did you pick this up for the railroad theme or because it was a Mexican medal?

I love the eagle used on the first medal.
As a little kid it was the eagles of Mexico that drew part of my interest in that direction. At 6 I collected US eagles but by 8 I realized the Mexican eagles were cheaper and there was a myriad of types compared to US.

I am enjoying this. Anything exonumia I can appreciate.
I noticed you where going in chronological order at first but skipped '53. Do you not have one for that year?
May I ask why you got into medals or Mexico?I have not done much with medals (just coins and tokens) and am interested in why those two themes together.
