Question
I am so glad I found you. I have inherited many coins, I just love them all. What do you know about a James Monroe coin, or perhaps no a coin, maybe a token or just memorabilia piece? One side has around outside "The last cocked hat" "Monroe Doctrine"  inside this : soldier of revolution minister to France governor of Virginia secretary of war secretary of state purchased Florida from Spain era of good feelings   other side has silhouette with 5th president USA across top and 1817 1825 on bottom James Monroe. Any info would be greatly appreciated, am trying to catalog my coins with all info available, including value if their is any.

Thank You So Much!

Answer
Hi Haley,

This soundlike a token or medal, not a coin.  Coiins have a denomination such as 50 cents printed on them.  I am sorry but I have no expertise in medals and tokens.
Look on eBay for similar items, maybe that will help you.
