Answer
Hi Ron,

You have a medal, not a coin.. Coins have denominations such as 1 Dollar, 50 Cents etc.

As a medal, there is little I can tell you about the item.  There have been numerous presidential medal produced by various companies and without further info, I could not tell you which one produced this one.

I'm sorry I could not be of more help.
