I am not a huge expert on coins but I was given one as a gift and they refused to give me the certificate of authenticity because they didn't want me knowing exactly how much it was worth. Now that could be good or bad I understand but can someone help me shed some light on this.

It would be classified as a medal or token, not a coin. It was privately minted but I do not see a maker's mark, just designer initials. Is there anything engraved/stamped on the edge? I do not see the logic in withholding the CoA from you, that medal would only have a value of a few dollars unless someone embarrassingly overpaid for it.

I found a similar commemorative medal here. Different front, but exact same back. Sold for $4.00.

Maybe they didn't want you to know how LITTLE it was worth...
