Shortly after the Mexican Revolution, the newly formed Mexican Government issued their first Peso coin referred to as the "Caballito Peso" or as translated to English Pony or Small Horse Peso.
From 1572 (perhaps even earlier) and up to 1914, the silver content of the Mexican Peso (which during the Spanish Colonial era was known as the "Piece of Eight Reales") was held to a remarkably stable standard: 24.44 grams of pure silver.

There is about 25 dollars worth of silver in this coin. That is all it is worth.

No U.S. one cent coin has been made from silver. It may have been plated for jewelery but it does not have any collectible value.
It varies! For years Mexican silver items were often in the 40-75% silver content range. However, in the past decade many reputable Mexican jewelry manufacturers have begun producing high quality sterling silver which is 92.5%. Unfortuanately it is also a common occurence for the less reputable manufacturers in the country to stamp .925 on silver jewelry when it is not .925. The key is to source your jewelry from a trusted manufacturer or store that is verifying quality through assay testing.
No U.S. coins are pure silver. Silver is so soft it would wear out quickly so the metal was alloyed with copper. See the Related Question for more details.
The Mexican mint has never issued a 25 peso coin, never.
