Description
Well, the title says it all. I inherited this medallion (coin) a while back and only just recently started to sell some similar real coins on ebay. When it came to this medallion I couldn't find it on ebay, or anywhere else on the internet.
Obverse: stylized "Expo 70" that is orbiting the earth; surrounded by "WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND ** APOLLO"
Reverse: looks like the Apollo capsule being retrieved on the sea; surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA *** OSAKA JAPAN
I need help with it's full identity, and of course it's value.
Thank you!

I inherited this from my mother or my grandmother, and probably really came from a great uncle who travelled extensively and I wouldn't doubt if he attended the Expo in Japan in 1970.
