Since "Deutschland" is German for the country of Germany, the coin in question would be from Germany. "Penny" here is a bit of a misnomer, however, since the equivalent of a penny in German currency would have been a "Pfennig." There were Pfennig coins in circulation from the 9th century until the introduction of the Euro/cent in 2002. It was in 1873 with the introduction of the Gold Mark its division by 100 to equal 100 Pfennige that 1 Pfennig was assigned the value of a penny (or one cent). Previously, the Pfennig had been a coin of more value.
