You are trying to identify "this coin"

If you are referring to the "country of issue" the answer is

Yes

Looks like we only have 5 coins to choose from now.
Time to start the guesses.

I'll go for the largest mintage this time.
My guess is 1935 Hong Kong 10 cents, KM#19.

It seems my question was not worded correctly. Predominantly made of copper (ignoring impurities) was meant that bar impurities the coin is made of copper. Arghh... My stupid mistake with the queens english.

I thought copper-nickel alloys were mostly copper. Hence copper mentioned first.
I can't find a listing on the alloy for that coin. :(

They are. Anywhere between 60-90% copper. Aussie cupronickel coins are 75% copper and 25% nickel.

David thought he was asking a different question.
