El Banco de Zacatecas

by Moises Gamez

This paper shows the birth of the banking system in Zacatecas. First it explains the foundations of the system by analyzing the role of informal agents, acting as intermediaries. Second, the relationship between the early establishment of regional banks (before the 1897 Law), the mining sector and the socioeconomic agents is explored, considering association strategies. Finally, the following preliminary hypothesis is formulated: The mining sector stimulated the configuration of a banking system, which responded to its particular financial needs, improving the dynamics of financial transactions. Furthermore, agents recognized by the State also show the history of socioeconomic networks.

El Banco de Zacatecas

by Moises Gamez

This paper shows the birth of the banking system in Zacatecas. First it explains the foundations of the system by analyzing the role of informal agents, acting as intermediaries. Second, the relationship between the early establishment of regional banks (before the 1897 Law), the mining sector and the socioeconomic agents is explored, considering association strategies. Finally, the following preliminary hypothesis is formulated: The mining sector stimulated the configuration of a banking system, which responded to its particular financial needs, improving the dynamics of financial transactions. Furthermore, agents recognized by the State also show the history of socioeconomic networks.

“Superior Galleries is proud to present the following offering of Revolutionary Coinage. The consignor has put together what is undoubtedly the finest collection of these coins ever offered for public sale. The basis of this collection was the fabulous F.C.C. Boyd holding, to which was added the A. J. Ostheimer and the Frank Roza collections. In all, more than 50 years of patient effort went into the perfection of this great numismatic treasure. Most of the coins offered here were used as the plate coins in the recently published work on Mexican Revolutionary Coinages by Hugh S. Guthrie and Merrill Bothamley.”
