Hello, need help with this possible pattern coin. I have no idea as to what country this may belong to. One side has 1D, and the other side is blank. It weighs 7.8g and is slightly larger than a Sacagawea dollar. Thank you for the help.

This looks very much like an Apothecary's Weight. Until the middle of the 20th Century pharmacists/chemists used pre-metric weights which included the
Dra(ch)m :- alternate spellings.
And of course the symbol was D

Now here's the problem, your piece weighs 2 Drachms. 7.78 grams.

It's a 1 penny token from Britain, Australia or somewhere else where the old pounds, shillings and pence monetary system was used; D is short for "penny". I have seen many such tokens and have a couple myself; the club or company that issued them usually had their name or cypher stamped onto the other side. As this one is un-named, it's probably a generic type or "stock token", used by clubs or companies that couldn't afford to make a personalised obverse die.
