I found this coin and I have been trying to find out more information. I know that there is a Monroe Centennial Coin but the one I found is not the Centennial Coin. Any suggestion on where I can find more information.
thanks

Perhaps it is a medalion and not a coin. Does it have a denomination on the coin?

I'd guess it might be part of a whole series of medallions on US Presidents?

I'm pretty sure that this is what it is. I believe these were produced in silver (or at least silver plated). There may also have been a bronze issue, but I'm not sure.

A value. 50 cents, half dollar, something like that.

aly08611, Welcome to the forum.
I have two sets of Presidential medallions.
One was produced in the 1960's, and the other is from the U.S. Mint. Both are interesting.
