I think this is a Y68a. It's brass and twice as thick as a copper 20 cash.
Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

I don't see any difference between the 68 and 68a
What are the dimensions (thickness) ?

I thought the essential difference is that Y68 is copper and Y68a is brass.

Yours looks like copper to me - I have one and it looks the same colour as yours and it's definitely copper.

What is the weight and diameter ( as well as thickness) ?

Thickness is about 2 mm, weight is 15.1 grams, dia. is a little less than 32 mm. A couple scratches show bright copper color, so you must be correct. It's just that I have a couple other copper 20 cash, and they are darker, as well as much thinner.

By the way, thanks, Pertinax. One must remember manners, otherwise Mother will haunt one.
