A few things to check. First, the size. Is it 47mm? Second, does it have gold-colored highlights? If so, the bad news is that it's not a coin but a privately struck medal. The good news is that it is .999 pure silver overlaid with 24k gold. In fact, on the banner above the eagle it actually says "24 karat gold" and ".999 pure silver". If all these things don't check out, then I can't help you.

It was the only state to be admitted to the Union that year and is therefore known as the Centennial State.
