Probably not it, but in Hexen II the necromancer has magic missile as his second weapon, and it's first person. There's no coin or turn-based combat though.

In the early nineties, a friend showed me a PC game where the protagonist is gifted a magical silver coin or medallion by perhaps an older relative. The gameplay was first-person, maybe using the medallion as the control interface, and the beginning was moving through a dark wood fighting monsters in turn-based combat. I thought the protagonist could cast "magic missile," leading me to believe it's a Dungeons & Dragons tie-in but searching through a list of available D&D PC games at the time doesn't match my memories. The fact I remember a single protagonist and no party also makes me doubt it a little. Perhaps I confused the details of different games.
