A peso coin is a form of currency used in countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, and various countries in South America. It typically features the denomination on one side and national symbols on the other. The value of a peso coin can vary depending on the country in which it is used.
Mexico introduced the new peso in 1993, so anything dated before that is obsolete. However, older coins in larger denominations still have some value for their metal content.
The circumference of a one peso coin is 2.4 cm. A peso is the currency for the country of Mexico.

The value of a peso coin varies depending on the country, as multiple nations use the peso as their currency, including Mexico, the Philippines, and Argentina. For example, a Mexican peso coin is worth approximately 0.05 USD, while a Philippine peso coin is similarly valued around 0.018 USD. The actual value can fluctuate based on exchange rates and economic conditions, so it's advisable to check current rates for accurate conversions.
Without seeing your coin it's not possible to say for sure. However, if it is a standard circulation coin its value is very small. Inflation caused Mexico's currency to become nearly worthless by the late 1980s. In 1993, all existing pesos were replaced by the "nuevo peso" (new peso) at an exchange rate of 1000 to 1. The new peso is currently worth around 11¢ U.S. so one old peso would be one one-thousandth of that, or $0.00011.
Most often "Peso" refers to Mexican currency. However Mexico is not the only country that uses pesos. Some other countries that use pesos are: Argentina, Chile, Cuba, and Uruguay. Ask another question and include the following information: date, country of origin, and the denomination. For example "What is the value of a 1978 Mexican peso" or "What is the value of a 1978 Cuban peso". If your coins is from a different country or denomination just include the correct information.
I am assuming it is a 10 peso coin (shown as $10; "$" means "peso" on Mexican coins). If it's from circulation its value is quite low. Mexico's currency was devalued by inflation in the 1980s and the country replaced its money in 1993 at the rate of 1000 old pesos to 1 new peso. 10 old pesos would convert to 1/100 of a new peso, or much less than one U.S. cent at current exchange rates.
The "1N" on a Mexican coin indicates its denomination, specifically that it is worth one peso. The "N" stands for "nuevo," distinguishing it from the old peso system that was replaced in 1993. This symbol signifies that the coin is part of the modern currency system used in Mexico today.
