This medal commemorates the Battle of Puebla (May 5, 1862), where Mexican forces under General Ignacio Zaragoza achieved a symbolic victory over the French army. Though not the end of the conflict, the battle became a defining moment of national pride and resistance.

Issued in 1963 for the centennial, these medals reflect mid-20th century efforts to honor Mexico’s historical legacy and were produced in limited quantities, often tied to official or ceremonial distribution.
