It will be either https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3377.html or https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces855.html but because the coin is in such poor shape I cannot determine which one.

The Only silver coin which can be close to the coin in picture above is this, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13209.html. It should be a tiny coin 1.9 grams and 16mm if it is this coin OR it is one of the Bronze coins that elvis123 mentioned.

 Not silver - just that some coins go a lighter brown than others, and some go quite dark.
Here is one I had (UK 1 Penny Victoria 1876H) recently which was also very light in colour ...



P.S. Your penny is in the second of those links (1874-1894) as the D:G: is further away from the portrait.

Thank you so much, does make sense, just it was standing out from the others I have.  Thanks TERESSA
