I think you pretty much answered the question by knowing that it's a counterfeit. Except for a few storied exceptions like the so-called "Racketeer nickels" of 1883, counterfeits are worth zip. A counterfeit is worth about 10 years as a guest of the federal government. A good replica, although not technically worth anything, will usually bring $10 - $20.
All genuine "Fugio Coppers" are date 1787 not 1776, so the date on your coin is wrong or it's not a Fugio cent.
No fewer than 8 different types of this coin exist, the mintages are unknown and the values are high for authentic coins $7,500.00 to $100,000.00+. Numerous counterfeits and replicas have been made for more than 100 years, so authentication is highly recommended.
No set values for replicas exist, it's worth what you can get.
Real coins have values from $7,500.00 to $125,00.00 depending on grade
An Authentic one can sell for about $25,000 or so. Though most of them are private copies that are worthless except as a curiosity.

Copies of U.S. coins have no numismatic value.
There were no US coins struck in 1776 that were official authorized coins. The first coin struck by the Continental Congress was the Fugio Cent which wouldn't be struck until 1787 and even then featured no depiction of Liberty on it. The first US coin with a personification of Liberty on it was the Chain Cent first struck in 1793, many years after the War of American Independence
The Second Continental Congress began to discuss independence in 1776.
The value of coins and paper money can vary drastically depending on year, condition, and stamping. A four coin set of 1776 medallions sells for about $8 so any one would be worth about $2 or less. Note that these medallions aren't true coins and weren't issued in 1776.
The coin has to say Continental Currency on the front with the 1776 date, sometimes they miss spell it and it says continental Curency. It should also have a sun and a sundial with the word Fugio to the left of it. On the back there are 13 circles representing the 13 colonies. Each circle should look like they intertwine with each other, and the circle in the center should say we are one. the ring around the center should say american Congress. Little bumps should Surround the edges on both sides. Hope its real! :)
