Need help IDing old coin, Virginia

[Stogger]

I obtained permission to metal detect an area in Virginia that was a center of commerce back in the late 1700's and houses still standing from mid to late 1800's. Well I was out there for only an hour and found this old quarter-sized coin that has a lot of inscriptions on the back. I'll try to reduce the picture I took of it under the microscope to 480KB. Can anyone give me a hand in helping to identify it? I'm pretty excited here as this is the first old coin I found by researching first, finding an interesting spot, and obtaining permission!

What I could make out:

On the back:

"The last Cooreuhat" ??

Soldier of ...........
Minister to France
Governor of Virginia
Secretary of War
Secretary of State
............... Florida

On the front:
1817 1825 or 1925

PS. Anyone recommend a certain procedure for cleaning up coins without deteriorating them? This one is out of the ground without any cleaning....afraid it will chip apart. Thanks.

Looks like a James Monroe commemorative token.

Pretty cool false alarm! Still waiting for that "older" coin.

Nice, I wouldn't use anything except soap and water.

Thanks Jim. I think that is good advice. This one is already flaking around the edges so for now it sits in a small plastic freezer bag.
