The CSA never made an 1862-dated cent. There are lots of replica and fantasy pieces that have been privately made and sold as novelty items. There was an entire set of Confederate "tokens" including 1862-dated "cents" made in the early 1960s and sold during the Civil War centennial observances. While your item isn't very valuable it's still an interesting conversation piece and reminder of that difficult time.
Nearly supposed 1862 CSA "cents" are larger than a standard cent, which is the most important red flag - the CSA only had access to the facilities they'd captured from the New Orleans Mint so they were using the same size dies and blanks that had been used for US Coins. All known genuine Confederate cents are dated 1861 and are identical in size and weight to US cents of that period.
