‘Mexican silver’
The history of silver in Mexico is a big part of its history in relation to the world. At one time Mexico provided over a third of the world’s silver. Only a year into Spain’s conquest of Mexico in 1521, Hernan Cortes made claim to mining silver in Taxco, a city south of Mexico City. Intermittently, new veins were discovered there. This part of Mexico became world-renowned for its high-quality silver.
