There are (at least) 2 places a nonce can be used in the data (the block hashing blob) being hashed in Monero:

  1. in the block header, the nonce field, which is a 32 bit unsigned int, so a maximum value of 0xffffffff.
  2. in the coinbase tx extra field (which is however many bytes the miner has reserved).
