Grove-661a. Commemorating the Mining Convention for the Association of Engineers and Architects of Mexico. Obverse: Bust of miner left, wearing helmet and headlamp, and holding pickax over shoulder; Reverse: Seven line inscription with inscription above. A rather boldly struck example, exhibiting a high degree of lustrous brilliance, though some scattered hairlines on its prooflike surfaces are noted.
