I think it's demonetized, but if not, it's on the old Mexican peso system, in which a peso is worth 1/100 of the new pesos. It's the type of common world coin you would find in a 25-cent bin in a coin shop. Cool find if it's a new design to you!

Might as well keep it, it looks cool.
First coin added to meh collection.
Now I just need a way to store them.

What have I got myself into…

Yep. It is demonetised and would have a very, very low monetary value nevertheless. But it is nice to keep interesting coins just because of their sole appearance.
