Welcome to the forum, fct!

Is it my computer, or there's no picture or anything else?

Aha! Now I can see it!

The coin is Philippines 50 centimos de peso, or half peso, featuring Spanish king Alfonso XII who ruled from 1874 to 1885. Unfortunately (unless it was done by a really famous person and you have proof of that) the coin was damaged. Someone removed the date and scribbled something else. This type was struck between 1880 and 1885, Here's what an undamaged coin looks like.

And the medal commemorates 60th anniversary of the phone. Hopefully someone knows more particulars about it.
Rest in Peace

Actually, the telephone pioneers are a service group whose members have worked in the telephone industry. I have a friend who retired from Western Electric who belong to this fine group.
