Frank Grove's lifetime work cataloguing the medals of Mexico has remained the standard reference for collectors, auctioneers and graders for more than four decades. Out of print since the 1980s, the original volumes have become hard to find and costly to buy, often changing hands for many times the price of this edition when copies surface at all. This new edition of Volume 2 brings the catalogue up to date with hundreds of high-resolution colour images drawn from recent auctions. Where a medal has not surfaced since Grove's day, the entry keeps his original photograph or the earlier sketches by Medina and Herrera, so the record stays complete.

The edition is published with the support of PCGS. Every entry carries its PCGS catalog number, tying each medal directly to current population figures, price-guide values and auction results on PCGS.com and across the wider market.
