Firstly, I'm very sorry to hear about your Grandfather.
This coin looks to be Sterling silver or higher, coins like this are usually 92.5% solid silver but can go as high as fine 99.9% silver. It will weigh about 28.28 grams and special commemorative strikes can be made by different companies such as Pobjoy or Royal Mint. They can range from about £20 up to £200, but this is likely to be on the lower end of the scale. Could you post a picture of the other side and we can try to determine exactly what £5 coin it is.
Such a lot of knowledge on here, so you'll get answers to anything you want with regards to coins.
Welcome :)
