This is a commemorative privately issued, like those from the Franklin Mint and others. Generally they don't have collector value, just bullion value. Since it's a private minting, no coin shop or coin dealer will recognize the stated gold content without testing, i.e., scraping a sample and dropping it in acid.

If you are looking to redeem this for the gold content, check online for refineries that take small orders. They will melt it down and pay you a % for the actual gold content ... p.s. don't use "Cash for Gold" they will give you pennies on the dollar.

My google-fu is weak tonight, so couldn't find anything on it. If you're trying to get rid of it, Ebay would be one option (where there's always the small chance of a bidding frenzy.) Just be sure to have very good pictures (especially of that receipt....)
