All things are possible, but it is extremely unlikely that you have a genuine double headed coin. These types of errors are almost impossible to make on modern minting machinery.
It is most likely that you have a trick coin from a magic or souvenir shop. If you look very closely at it, there will be something that is not quite right.
On the other hand, if it is a genuine (but unlikely) minting error, you would have something of value.
A reputable coin dealer will be able to authenticate the coin and give a valuation.

Double headed young Queen Victoria on both sides of the coin with no date?
The Canadian "double-headed" cent is equal to the British One Penny. The Canadian one "cent" is equal to the British 1/2 penny (so a British penny is 2 cents or 1 double-headed cent). When first issued, the Canadian government had them struck to a standard of 100 coins to the pound of bronze rather than the the British standard of 80 coins to the pound of bronze. The first 1858 issues, however, were unpopular and originally had to be sold at a discount. It is believed the Canadians joined the two cents together to make them equivalent to the British Penny.
