If it's a gold coin, then it depends on the size and date. Re-ask the question specifying all the wording on both sides of the coin. If it's not gold, it has very little value -- these are often found in dealers' miscellaneous foreign bins for 25 cents or less.

How much is $5000 Estados Mexicanos dated 1938-1988 with an eagle holding a snake on the back worth in US money
The value of a 1968 Estados Unidos Mexicanos veinticinco centavos coin with the marking of an "M" with a dot over it and a picture of an eagle battling a snake would depend on its condition and rarity. However, generally, these coins are not considered to have significant monetary value and are mainly sought after by coin collectors for their historical and cultural significance.
This coin is actually composed of a nickel ring surrounding a copper center. Value is just a few cents.
Need more information to identify the coin: Metal (or color), size, denomination, any other words on the coin. Then the grade needs to be determined before a value can be assigned. How much of the original design remains? (Often hard to determine. If you do not have an uncirculated example for comparison you do not know how many feathers should show on the eagle, etc).
It's an ordinary circulation coin worth 70 to 80 US cents. Note that "diez" means 10 in Spanish so "10 diez" is equivalent to saying "10 ten"
Nothing. These were coins made as copies for unknown reasons. Hence the word "COPIA". Copia in spanish means COPY. Look at the eagle on the flip side of the coin and you will see that it is facing to the right. On a real Mexican 20 Centavo piece, the eagle will be facing left. You've got yourself a fake coin.
I'm not sure, but it is actually an eagle, on a cactus, eating a snake. This was where the Aztecs built Tenochtitlan at Lake Texcoco, where they saw that exact eagle. Sorry I could not tell you what it was worth, but maybe the eagle thing cleared something up! This coin contains .6431 troy oz of silver, so its bullion value is currently higher than its numismatic value. My price guide suggests it is worth $6 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, but the silver in it is worth about $11.
There were 20.686 million of these copper-nickel Mexican 25c coins featuring Francisco Madero minted in Mexico City (Mo) that year and it may be worth up to about .25 depending on amount of wear and collector demand. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info. Brad
Due to a 1992 monetary reform in Mexico that made 1000 old Pesos equal to 1 New Peso the 1988 5000 Pesos is worth about .50 in the U.S. (1 Peso = ~10c U.S.). You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
The easiest way to get the Eagle Dragon the game Dragon Story is to buy them for 400 gold in the market. It can be done by breeding them as well, but it is not a guarantee that it will be a Eagle Dragon born.

You are asking about a One Peso coin from Mexico (KM#459). The coin is 34.5mm in diameter, weighs 16 grams, and is 10% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.514 troy ounces). The front has a portrait of a man facing right within a wreath. The back has an eagle with a snake in its mouth within a wreath, with "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" (Spanish for the "United Mexican States") above and "UN PESO 1960" ("One Peso 1960") below. The edge reads "INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD" ("Independence and Liberty"). 26,259,000 such coins were produced in 1960 at the Mexico City mint. With silver at US$33.80 per troy ounce (as of July 1, 2011), the "melt" value of the coin is about US$1.74. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is only worth its silver value in circulated condition - in Uncirculated it is valued at US$3.25, and in Brilliant Uncirculated, US$4.50.
