Question

silver medal
Hello!
Looking for any information about silver medal for the 500th anniversary of the landing of America of Christopher Columbus that was presented to me in Seville on Expo 92 in the US pavilion.


Answer
Hello Andrei,
Since this is a private issue, chances are that it is only worth the silver it is made of.  It would probably be sterling, .925 pure.
You need to weigh it and calculate the value based on the current price of silver.
That is all I can tell you.
