I moved your post to the appropriate forum for the proper attention. We need to identify it first, then get in the right forum for assessment. I am not sure what you have.

I suppose you have a Canadian 1/10 oz gold maple leaf. Google it and you'll have the answer to your question.

Yes, you forgot to say what country it was from. But I'm pretty sure Canada was the only country to issue 1/10th ounce $5 coins with .9999 purity, depicting Queen Elizabeth II and with both English and French on it.

Canada did not make proof maple leafs that year, so it's a "regular" bullion coin. It's worth is whatever the bullion content is (1/10th of the current spot price of US$1205/ounce = $120.50) plus whatever the premium usually is for small bullion coins (about 14%).

I've just noticed that the NGC database page for this coin has the wrong pic; they've got a Russian coin up there. That's a howler.
