The front has 1854 and a ladies head with 13 flower stars around the edge, the back says "san francisco california twenty d" this has a eagle with a shield in the center.. I looked all over the internet and there all in gold,, this is all in silver..any info wld be great...thanks...Todd

Hard to tell without them!

It's a cast copy of a $20 Pioneer gold piece.

Is there any value to this and is it really from 1854?

They were made as novelty coins or replicas. Worth a few bucks but maybe slightly more to a collector. Welcome to the CCF ;-)
