against a background looking like the Moon.On the reverse is a male head and
the dates 1776 -1976.Does anyone know the background or any details of this
coin?

Eisenhower dollar, minted in 1975-76. It's worth a dollar.

It's an Eisenhower dollar commemorating the American revolutionary war.

As to "white metal," I have no idea.

The white metal is cupronickel (75% copper, 25% nickel), and there is a
copper center between two layers of cupronickel. Just like all
recently-minted coins larger than 10¢, except for the Sacagaweya
dollars.

The head is of President Dwight David Eisenhower, President of the USA
from 1952 through 1960.

This is a Bicentennial Dollar, which, along with the Bicentennial
Half-Dollar and Bicentennial Quarter, commemorated the 200th birthday of
the United States of America, a country that existed on this continent
for about 22 years (first President: John Hanson), before being replaced
by another of the same name (first President: George Washington).
