That is awesome. Any guesses as to how old the engraving is?

No way to know for sure but I'm guessing around the turn of the 20th Century.

While all are cool, the OP's coin, well, the 'presentation' of it, with the stars, date, IGWT encircling the prayer....that's just a very cool item, regardless of whats written in it. I totally agree with STONE...the detail is fantastic. Great pick-up!!

I'll come up with something, eventually.

Probably made at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

I got something rather related at the supermarket recently. Here's a thread about it.

Thanks, it’s half dollar size. I love the hand shake, reminds me of an Indian peace medal.
