I actually found one of those pesos but mine is older. I dont know about 1964. I think its .100 silver.

I found one in the same condition in a back yard in Lowell Indiana, its a 1961 and when I pulled it out I thought I found a fake or toy coin!

Nice find!

BigC is correct! This coin is 10% silver (series 1957-1967).
