It is extremely unlikely that a doubleheaded 1943 Australian Penny was struck, much less made it into circulation, and there are no known occurrences of it. If it is a genuine doubleheader, you would not be able to see the date. However, if you do have one, you probably have a valuable curiosity. Double-headed coins turn up in American change all the time. They're called "magicians' coins" and are simply novelty items made in a machine shop by splitting apart 2 genuine coins, then switching and rejoining the split sides. They sell for a few dollars in novelty shops but have no interest to collectors. It's not at all impossible that the same kind of items would be created in other countries.
