I grew up in Texas, and have long been interested in Mexican coins. I got interested in the medals when a collector liquidated his vast Mexican medal collection back in 2008-2010 on ebay. They were inexpensive (more so than now), and there are many interesting designs. I collect mainly the silver medals, but there are gold and bronze and an occasional brass or white metal. The Mexican medals just stuck me as a nice collecting niche. The Mexico mint has a long tradition of minting medals, and there are several private mints that sometimes issue medals. Frank W. Grove published a catalog in 1972 "Medals of Mexico Volume II". I am trying to compile a record of Mexican medals issued since then. I probably have photos of 900 or so medals issued since 1972. I actually own a few of the medals that Grove used for the photos in his book. They were sold off a few years ago after his death. As for 1953, I didn't have anything top notch for that year.

I am enjoying it also. I have never seen most of them before,except for the first one{Railroad medal}. I have one too,but don't know anything about it. It apparently is not a mint medal, so who made it, and does it have any relatioship with the 5 Peso Railroad coinminted in 1950?

The 1950 medal was issued (privately) to commemorate the 7th Pan American Railway Congress in 1950. The 1950 Mexico 5 peso coin was issued (by the Mexico Mint) to commemorate the opening of a railroad line to the Yucatan Peninsula.
