Thanks!

Answer
Hi B, this is not an actual coin but a fantasy piece issued by a private company for sale as a souvenir.
A 'fantasy' piece is when someone creates or hijacks an official design and changes it to suit whatever purpose they imagine that will make the coin interesting enough to sell as a souvenir or conversation piece to someone who is unfamiliar with the genuine pieces.
It is worth the silver content and whatever extra someone might be willing to pay for it.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
