Most of the comments indicate that it is a copy.
Does it have any value or not, if not so I can put it back
In the box and back to the attic for another 20+ years

Benjamin Franklin metal, commemorating the peace between the United States and Great Britain paying tribute to the French-American friendship.

Is this coin bronze?

Check out NumisCorner.com

I would definitely look into this before selling it!
