Not a genuine coin, but might be gold. Also, just a word of advice. If you thought you had a genuine 1933 saint, don't post it on the internet unless you want feds at your door.

Gold plated copper reproduction, little if any worth.

Full pictures of both sides of the "coin" would be most helpful.

Most likely we are looking at some sort of replica, copy or reproduction of some sort.

"Z AVP 999 CO" is likely part of an inscription something like "1 OZ AVP 999 COPPER" - in other words, one avoirdupois ounce (not troy ounce, since it's not precious metal) of pure copper. There wouldn't be enough gold in the gold plating to reduce the .999 purity of the copper.

There are plenty of replica-coin-makers who produce such things. As the 1933 Saint Gaudens $20 never officially existed, one could even argue, from a technical legal perspective, that it isn't even a "counterfeit", but a "fantasy coin".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
