Need help with a background on this awesome coin!

This coin has been shot by a bullet. Very cool find! It is Mexican and says "Republica Mexicana" and on the back where the bullet struck you can barely read what says 1892 and an M. I've looked this up on the internet but cannot find what this coin is made of so I can clean it. Please comment what you and think and tell me what you know/find!

Cool find! I like that it's been shot.

Perhaps it's a "1892 MEXICO 10 CENTAVOS". Google that and lots of images look just like your coin.

What can I use to clean it?

Nice coin find. I would just water it & hit it with a toothbrush, then soak it in olive oil for a week or so. It will bring the patina back out. There are a number of ways, but this is the one I use for copper coins.

yeah, don't clean it much, it will destroy the character of the coin.
