Default 1915 Panama pacific

Hey Papy, Hope your doing well. I was wondering if I could get some information on a coin I found in Buford SC at an old house just to see how much the coin is worth. I have researched the coin and have come to a bunch of dead ends. It is a 1915 bronze coin from the opening of the panama canal.As far as I know each state had some minted and sold to fund the opening of the panama canal. My problem is that I have found all of the other states that have sold the coin back in 1915, how many were sold and how many were melted back down to use in other coin making operations, but i cannot find the one that I have and how many were made price etc. The front of the coin reads around the rim(Panama pacific international expositionn fund San francisco 1915) and the other side reads around the rim(For south carolina exposition fund) The front has a boat and on the top reads (the land divided ) and bottom(the world united)on the south carolina side it has two ovals one with a pallamento tree and in the other a lady holding a branch. Any help on the price or how many were made would be great. Thanks
