It depends on the copy. A copy coin could have either no gold content or it could be pure gold, it is impossible to say because there is no regulation on copy coins.

It is impossible to say what a copy coin is worth. Copy coins have no collector value, their only value comes from what the coin is made with. Some high end copies are made out of the same material that the authentic coin is made out of, in this case, it would be gold. Others might be gold plated silver, still others may be gold plated copper, or you might have gold plated steel or lead. Without seeing the coin in person it is impossible to say because there are so many types of copy coins.

It is impossible to say. Copy coins are made out of a wide variety of materials. A copy coin contains no collector value, but it may be made out of precious metals that could make it be worth something. However, there is no set standard for copy coins, the vast majority of copy "gold" coins are gold plated copper or another base metal, making them nearly worthless. However, there are some gold copy coins made out of solid gold making them be worth a substantial amount of money. Without examining the coin in hand, it is impossible to tell you if you have a coin worth 20 cents or a coin worth $250.
It is impossible to say. Copy coins have no collector value, they may, however have intrinsic value in the metal the coin is made out of. Unfortunately, without examining the coin in person, it is impossible to say what your coin is made out of since copy coins can be made out of many different materials. For example, your coin could be a high-end copy and made out of 90% gold like the actual coin, in which case your coin would be worth quite a bit, however, your coin could be nearly worthless if it is gold plated copper or steel. It honestly could be any metal so there is no way for me to say what it is worth.
Since copy coins don't have any standards, anyone can make a copy coin out of any material (lead, zinc, gold, silver, copper, etc.) only a coin dealer or jeweler who sees your coin in person can guess at what it is made out of. It has no collector value, the only value comes from the metals used to make it. Most are just gold-plated copper and have no value though.
If it's a copy, it's worth little to nothing.
