Yes, this mark is usually sterling silver (92.5% silver) or at least coin silver (90% silver), and I have read that objects which were made before 1948 in Mexico had this hallmark, after 1948 Mexico adopted a "federal eagle" hallmark which consisted of an eagle symbol and a number, but in the first half of the 20th century a variety of marks have been found on silver from Mexico, including "SILVER MEXICO," I believe your object will test positive for a high silver content, but if you want to know for certain just take it to a person who has knowledge of silver testing procedures :::
