Lovely proclamation medal from Emperor Agustin I with a lovely Eagle design, crowned and with a very small snake.

At the time of purchase (November 2023) has graded 2 medals, 55 and 58, hence, Top Pop.

From the catalogue's sale: "MEXICO. Proclamation of Independence Bronze Medal, 1821. Agustin I Iturbide. PCGS AU-58. Grove-5B; Fonrobert-6538. Obverse: Crowned eagle perched on cactus; Reverse: legend in seven lines. Highly interesting and certainly SCARCE, this medal celebrates the freedom of Mexico from the Spanish Empire and alludes to the founding of the new independent Mexican Empire, which would prove to be short-lived. This near-Mint example provides sharp detail and clear legends along with quite lustrous fields. The surfaces offer a rich bronze patina with marbled reddish brown hues."
