That is beautiful! I'd research "A. H. Stansberry" and see if you can find some background. Sorry, can't give you a value; wonderful keepsake, though. Looks like it's silver. -Noodle

Looks like he was a Private in 1861, Civil War collectors might be interested:

I know that this is a little late, but it very well could be a commemorative medallion for a CW reunion organization, most likely Grand Army of the Republic (GAR).

men from your area assigned to it.
