So far we know that out of about 200 countries roughly 86 of them are disqualified do to them either being a British colony or being on the allies side during WW2. We know that it has a date (It is not known whether it is in the Arabic numerical system or not.), It also has a "appreciable" Copper content (So, more then likely it is entirely or partially made of copper) along with it being under 1/10th of a unit of currency (So, we may assume it being a penny or something similar) and it weighs either more or less then 1.5g - 2.5g (Until we get more information I'd assume it being more then 2.5g). We also know that it was issued between 1909-1917 that gives us about 8 years to work with. Lastly we know it is listed on Numista.

For Germany we have1 Pfennig - Wilhelm II which is 2g this disqualifies it https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces853.html as we need something more then 2.5g or less then 1.5g. S o Germany is out. For GEA they had the 1 Heller - Wilhelm II which has a weight of about 4g https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5909.html They also have a 10 Heller that is Copper-nickel and weight of about 6.3g but we need a coin that is less then 1/10th so this is out. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11911.html

If I were to guess I'd say it is a 1 Heller - Wilhelm II from German East Africa. is this the correct way to guess.

Be careful of the weight question.
It was asked if the weigh was between 1.5 to 2.5g, but someone forgot to add "inclusive", so technically it does not include 1.5 & 2.5, just the weights in between.
