It may be a Civil War Token but they are dated in the 1860s. Look at the date again most tokens are of poor quality and the 5 in the date may be a 6. Average value for a token is $10.00-$12.00.
In circulated condition, $12 - $30, in uncirculated condition $140 and up depending upon the actual condition of the coin.
$20 - $30
August 10. 2009 This is not a coin but a token. It is called a Civil War Token and has a value from $15 to $40 depending upon the condition of the token.
Please post a new question with the denomination of the coin.
I have researched this question and although I have found information on the Communities of Excellence program and there was mention of an award, I have found nothing indicating the award was more than a trophy. I do not believe what you have is a coin but more likely a medal or something along those lines. The government has authorized the issuance of hundreds of medals and private mints produce their own as well. Medals and such are a little beyond the scope of this particular question category [US Coins] but I offer what little I know. Perhaps you could take the coin/medal to a coin dealer since some also deal in medals and such and maybe you could get a better idea of what you have from someone who can actually see it. Also there may be someone else on WikiAnswers who can add more information to what I have offered.

The value of your coin is dependent on the grade of the coin. In 1856 the mint produced a seated liberty dollar and it is valued at between $400.00 and $38,500.00 depending on the grade of the coin.
In circulated condition, $12 - $30, in uncirculated condition $140 and up depending upon the actual condition of the coin.
This is one of the more common civil war tokens and might bring about $10 in well-used but undamagedcondition.
For this type of coin a denomination an the shape Octagonal or round will really help.
$40 to $100 in average circulated condition.
The 1856 One Dollar Indian Princess Head is a coin that really needs to be seen for a value. This coin was struck at 3 different mints and has 2 types, a large head and a small head. Values depend on which one you have and are $125.00 to over $1,000.00 for the coin in the low grade of G-4 depending on which coin it is. Take the coin to a dealer for a better idea of value.
