Copies of coins are rarely worth very much. They're usually made of base metal and plated with a thin coating of the metal (silver or gold) that was used for the genuine coins.

Copies are what might be called "legal counterfeits" because they're not intended to deceive and by law have the word COPY worked into their design. Like reproductions of famous paintings they let people have something that's a close representation of a rare item but with neither its price nor provenance.
