I know there is someone out there that can tell me what I've got here: The front says "juegos da la XIX OLYMPIADA mexico 1968" with the olympic sign and a indian dancing. The back says "25 PESOS ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS LEY 0720 M" and has a eagle with a curved snake in it's mouth! Please let me know the value of the overal coin, along with the amount of silver please, Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, iSPENCE!
What you have is not a medal but a coin, as it says there 25 pesos of Mexico, 1968, issued to commemorate the XIX Olympics. Its composition is 72% silver (LEY 0.720) with .5209 oz. of silver total.

Forgot to say about value. In the condition you have (from what I can see) it would be worth the bullion value, or the silver content. There's a scarcer variety, with would bring some premium, with a middle ring lower but I don't believe that's what you have.
