Mexico 1967 – 50th Anniversary of the Constitution – Gold Medal – NGC MS62 (Grove-953)

Commemorative coinage of the Casa de Moneda de México

This gold medal was minted in 1967 by the Casa de Moneda de México to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mexican Constitution of 1917. It was commissioned by government agencies and served representative and collectible purposes. It is not a coin with face value, but an officially commissioned commemorative coin.

This specimen is certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and graded MS62. It is listed in the Grove catalog under number 953.

Certified pieces of this type are rare and almost unavailable on the international market. This makes the condition of this specimen all the more significant for collectors specializing in Mexico or Latin American history.


Historical background and design

The Mexican Constitution of 1917 was a milestone in the country’s post-revolutionary political realignment. It is considered one of the first socially oriented constitutions in the world.

The obverse of the medal depicts Venustiano Carranza, who played a central role in the creation of the constitution as president. The inscription “50th Anniversary of the Constitution of 1917” clearly refers to the historic event.

The reverse depicts the chamber of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados). The depiction emphasizes the importance of institutional order and democratic processes. Through perspective and architectural depth, the image conveys a striking visual impact.


Technical specifications

The medal has a gross weight of 40.52 grams, as stated on the NGC certificate.

A fineness is not stamped on the medal. However, based on the minting practices of the Casa de Moneda de México from the 1950s to the 1970s, it is highly likely that it is a 90% gold alloy (.900). This alloy was used for almost all official gold coins and medals of that period, including the 1968 Olympic coins.

Calculated, this results in a fine gold content of approximately 36.47 grams (1.172 oz). A metallurgical analysis is not available. Therefore, information on the gold content is provided without guarantee.


Numismatic significance

This commemorative medal is one of the rarest coins in Mexican numismatics. It was not produced for circulation, but rather specifically for collectors and official representation purposes.

Its historical symbolism, prestigious design, and proximity to the well-known 50-peso series make it a sought-after item among advanced collectors. Added to this is the international rarity of certified specimens in this condition.

Particularly noteworthy is the combination of certificate, minting quality, political relevance, and design that clearly distinguishes this medal from the traditional precious metal market. Its collector value far exceeds its mere material value.
