anyone familiar with this kind of stuff?

all i could find: "1894 Aluminum. State Seal - Administration Building. A large souvenir medal from the exposition. At 51 mm, it is too large to count as a so-called dollar. Since there are no catalogs for the Midwinter pieces, this naturally counts as "unlisted"."

one that sold for $110

what kind of value do these typically have? i'm selling it but i'm not even really sure what to make of it. thank you..
