That looks pretty neat man, what exactly is it? Currency? Or is it something for show or an award? Looks like a coin but Im not familiar with money of that era. Also, howdy to a fellow Kentuckian! Glad to see you chose the right side.

And you forgot you had it??
Yup, it's a replica half dollar coin.
You can read more about it here: https://coinsite.com/1862-confederate-half-dollar/ note that this page does propagate the myth that Davis was wearing women's clothing when captured, this was a rumor spread by both northerners and southerners at the time but historians have since debunked it, from what I've read.
And yup! I was born and raised in Louisville.
