The diameter is all the way acros the coin.  that is 23mm.

the radius is only half way across the coin - so how much would that be?

 

the area of a circle is    A= pi*r2  = pi*r*r

pi is about 3.14  

so you can work that out .  the units will be mm2

 

now volume is just A*thinkness and the units will be  mm3
