Also, what's the name for this coin? |
Spot price of gold is at $1096.00 an ounce right now. See here for yourself:

That coin is what's called a mint state version of a $25 (half ounce) American Gold Eagle. Or AGE for short. It's strictly a bullion coin that the mint puts out annually. Some people collect them for numismatic value though too. None-the-less, at bare minimum it's worth the gold it contains which is half an ounce. So that's $548 right now.
That year was a relatively low mintage year though, so somebody would likely pay a slight premium for it. They only produced 169,029 of those in 1998. You probably could have bought it for around $100 in 1998 too.
It's worth somewhere around $600 as it stands.
