This one comes in two metals. Copper-plated non-magnetic metal of some kind, and copper-plated aluminum.
There is also another one, for the 1967 cent...

I don't wanna be mean but it looks like the queen was part lizzard and then got punched in the face. Still a cool peice though, $10 to the right person, possibly more as they appear to be much less common then the big nickels.
Feel free to call me Will.

It is non magnetic and has good heft to it so I don't think its aluminum. Thedollarman, the Queen does look a little mutant....lol.  |

Yes there is an impression of something on the base of the bust. Below the queen is the word "Lombardo", on the reverse is "an art dies" at the bottom.

There were so many different issues of the Sudbury medals to help finance the building of the sculptures. The big penny has four different issues: Bronze, Annodized aluminum, aluminum, and copper. Each is 38mm. There are varieties too, the two major ones being type 1, no mintmarks and type 2, mintmarks on the obverse and reverse. Yours appears to be type 2.
