Coins that have the real name "penny" (as opposed to the US/Canadian slang term for a cent) have been issued by many countries in the British Commonwealth / Empire.

If will almost certainly have a picture of the British monarch on it. If no country name is shown, it's from the UK. In that case, if it's about the size of a US nickel it's a modern penny worth face value only. If it's about the size of a US half dollar it's a so-called "old penny" whose value depends on its date.

Most other countries in the Commonwealth converted to dollars and cents back in the 1960s or 1970s so if your coin has a country name on it (e.g. Australia or New Zealand) it's from a date before conversion. Again, its value would depend on date and condition as well as the issuing country.
