It is copper and 34mm like yours, and the correct version should be silver and 35mm ...

 and dated 1811 or 1812 and not 1814 like yours.  :)

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
