You are asking about a One Penny coin from Great Britain (KM#790). The coin is bronze and slightly larger than the size of a US half dollar. The front has an image of Queen Victoria and the words "VICTORIA DEI - GRA - BRITT - REGINA - FID - DEF - IND - IMP -" (abbreviated Latin for "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Empress of India"). The back has an image of a woman seated holding a trident with a shield in front of her (meant to represent Britannia, the symbol of Great Britain), the words "ONE PENNY" above, and the date below. The Penny, by the way, is equal to one twelfth of a Shilling (or 1/240 of a Pound) under the old £sd system of money. 22,206,000 such coins were produced in 1901. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth US$0.30 in Fine condition, US$1.00 in Very Fine condition, US$10.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$25.00 in Uncirculated condition.
