This is what I found on Google.....

The stunning 1877 $50 Half Union gold coin is the largest gold coin ever struck by the U.S. Government, weighing over 2.5 oz of .900 pure gold.

Only two were ever struck. Now they’re in the Smithsonian Institution collection as two of the most valuable coins in the world. Few have ever experienced their dazzling design or massive size first-hand.

25mg of 24kt Pure Gold clad bronze

originals were solid gold ,, yours is a copy of the coin

Only 2 were ever minted

The U.S. Mint struck only 2 of these coins, the largest gold coins ever, because the "half union" (a gold denomination equal to $50) wasn't passed into law by Congress.
