Strange big Mint Coin

[monsterhobby]

Hi there my mom just gave me a coin about the size of a kennedy dollar with the following:
it has clouds on one side a picture of a building and it say's
United States Mint Philadelphia August 14 1969
Department of the treasury

other side has an eagle and a us map with states (p) that's all
copper color

It has no numeric value I'm sure it's just a conmemorative piece any info about it
will be apreciated thanks
PS I took a picture but it looks terrible i'll have to scan it later.
thanks for your time.
