A bronze penny should weigh 9.45 grammes, diameter 30mm.
If aluminium, but correct diameter and thickness, it would weigh about 2.9 grammes.
The reverse die could have been hubbed from a genuine coin.

I am completely unfamiliar with the obverse.
I note " 4P* " below 'EN' of 'PENNY'.
I note that the toothed border is different from that on authentic pennies.
I note that the date 1951 is 50th anniversary of the federation of the Australian States.
I note that the island State of Tasmania is missing from the map.
