No, the majority of them are genuine coins. Until 1967 the Mexican peso was partially silver (though, in 1967 it was only 10% silver) and all the peso coins dated 1967 and earlier contain some silver. Since a lot of them were made, most are not replicas and they are genuine coins. Since many of them were made and they aren't considered to be very attractive and rare coins, they are usually sold for little more than their silver content. Though there are a few replica pesos, the vast majority of them are genuine.

You are asking about the 1967 One Peso coin from Mexico (KM#459). 1967 was the final year that peso coins intended for circulation contained silver. The coins were, however, only 10% silver - while they weighed a fairly hefty 16.00 grams, they contained only about 0.0514 troy ounces of silver.
There is no silver content in it. It is composed of what is referred to as cupronickel. Typically this is a mix of 75% copper, 25% nickel, and a trace amount of manganese.
