i got this double headed Victorian penny in a bulk lot, you can see from the second picture that they've chopped two coins in half and sandwiched them together
Trench art, and well executed it seems, though more could have been done to disguise the join.
the two pennies were ground true on a flat stone and then brazed together. i might try that myself.

I found one too!
I tried everything to separate apart but I couldn't (I was curious if was a XF coin before glued together).
I guess they did that to do some tricks to always win in heads and tails.

you did not try everything, it is obviously soldered with common tin solder, heating it in a propane flame would melt the solder.
