There are a lot of them I like. Do not have any early Mexican ones yet , but love the way they look. But this 1 peso from Chile from 1933 Km 176 is one I like a lot. Not much value or silver. But just like the way it looks. Have around 4 of them.
Show me the 1 peso coins you just like the looks of
I think that's the reverse of the same Chilean peso.
Here's my favourite peso (that I own):
This was a transitional type, minted to imitate the Mexican 8 reales coin minted since 1824 that had been a remnant of the regal coinage of the Spanish colonial era. In 1897 the Mexican government switched to issuing crownsize silver coins based on the peso (introduced in 1863), but to ease the transition they minted the first peso coins with a design extremely similar to the old 8 reales, before a new design came out in 1910*.
*I really like the design of that one too, but sadly I don't own it yet....
Mexico1 Peso 1869-1873
Obverse
National arms; eagle with snake in beak standing on cactus in the middle of lake. With legend at top and oak and laurel wreath at bottom. With date under it.
Reverse
Scales of justice with radiant liberty cap at top, and law scroll below crossed by sword. With value, mint, assayer's initial and fineness at bottom.
I really like this Peso it has a lot going for it – some day I will own it.
I hope you are enjoying the new year. Ed

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.

I'll go with the Cuban ABC peso. 1934 was the only year that had the compressed date.
Minted in Philadelphia on the same planchets as the US Peace dollar
