CVC & Collectables presents a bold and historically charged Mexican Gold Grove commemorative medal honoring revolutionary general Francisco Villa, widely known as Pancho Villa. Struck in heavy gold with high-relief medallic engraving, this issue reflects Mexico’s mid-20th-century effort to memorialize revolutionary figures through official non-circulating medals.

Collectibility:
Mexican Gold Grove medals are sought after for their substantial precious-metal content, official mint production, and limited collector availability. In PCGS MS62, this example retains sharp design detail and strong visual presence, with light contact consistent with large-format gold medals. Its combination of gold weight, revolutionary subject matter, and third-party certification makes it desirable for advanced collectors of Mexican exonumia, historical medals, and PCGS-certified gold issues.
