Where did this coin come from?

It's a US Columbian Half Dollar minted to sponsor the World's Colombian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 aka Chicago World's Fair. It appears someone has painted the reverse side and put it in a custom case.

Painting coins is something I did not realize is a thing. I can't say who painted your coin, but perhaps you can contact some enthusiasts.
