Obverse looks like a knock-off of this Congressional Comm Medal (which was struck by the USM and sold at banks in SD County)

Reverses are dissimilar.
Here's a current listing for the USM version

Here's a listing for a version that matches the OP's:
https://chulavistacoins.com/product...anacs-au-53/
Design element descriptions in the second link are inaccurate, e.g., no covered wagon.
The "Pura Plata" on the reverse would seem to indicate the coin was struck in Mexico
Good luck with your detective work.
