Argentina. My Spanish is not very good but it could be that the Mercedes company started a plant there with the military.

This is a medal that is commemorating the opening/building of the infantry barracks in the town of Mercedes in Buenos Aires province. So I'd say you have a beautiful military commemorative medal.

It seems that a few new barracks were opened that year.
This link refers to your medal:

The illustration is from the same year but different regiment:

Argentina was in process of building and modernizing all parts their military forces during the years prior and after this date. They do have a very interesting history.

Nice added link alganbagerap
