I believe it is "enamelled", rather than "painted". Making enamelled coins was all the rage in the late 1800s.

As it is now a "piece of art" rather than a "coin", a coin catalogue isn't going to tell you the value. You really need to check online sales of similar items, to gauge what it might be worth. But ultimately, it is worth whatever people are prepared to pay for it. And there are collectors of enamelled coins, and enamelware more generally, who would pay for such an item. Price generally depends on both the condition (if it's worn or damaged) and on the skill of the artist who did the enamelling. This one actually looks quite good, in both respects.

Here is one on eBay, much more crudely done, selling for $190. Chard Coins has a few shown on their website, but no prices.

The enameled crowns are popular-and worth about $100 to the collector. I have a number of them. The quality and completeness of the work (any chips, etc) determine the value.
