The word "copy" should be a giveaway that this is not a real nickel, so you are correct to suspect that it has no special value. It's probably a novelty piece made for a set of sample coin designs or something similar.

value of a 1936 buffalo head nickel
How much is a 1820 buffalo nickel
The first Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was minted in Philadephia in the year 1913. The coin is actually called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the entire buffalo, not just its head :)
There is no such thing as an 1889 Buffalo Nickel. Buffalo nickels were only minted from 1913 to 1938. A nickel minted in 1889 would be a Liberty Head or "V" nickel.
It's not possible to answer that question across all 25 years of buffalo nickel minting. Depending on their dates, coins from any of the 3 then-active mints could be the most valuable for that particular year.
