First picture - below exergue line last word looks like HOPE lettering.
Second picture - starting on left side going up,
looks like FORTITUDE lettering. Then just below it is
the start of a ribbon, with SOBRIETY lettering.

From that earlier reply with a link,
similar but not the same on that side.
Though it is connected, as there is SOBRIETY lettering at the start.

btw, this is medal, rather than a coin. The distinction is a coin has face value, and an issuing nation. Everything else is exonumia.
We distinguish such Exonumia in its own group of forums. don't be surprised if a mod moves your thread over there.
