Another older coin I have in my collection. It's a tad bigger than a penny. Bronze or copper. Check the pics....don't know which is the front or reverse.

"...tad bigger than a penny ..." a British penny? Canadian penny? Australian penny? Can you give an exact measurement in millimeters?

When I put a U.S.A. Lincoln Cent overtop of it, the old copper is barely visible. So, it's size is a 1/32nd bigger than a Lincoln Cent. Sorry about the term penny...my bad.

Looks to be a Tripoli 1 Para, KM#53 AH1188, struck with two reverse dies?

This doesn't seem to be a very common coin when properly done. With the error I'd guess it's rather rare, but I don't know this series.
