It's gold-plated, not gold, and the extra date and any other non-standard images (e.g. a small picture of Lincoln) were added outside of the Mint by a private company. The underlying coin is an ordinary copper-nickel half dollar worth 50 cents.

You can find these novelty items advertised at inflated prices as "collectibles", but there's almost no market for them among coin collectors because they're considered to be altered or damaged goods.
