Hello,
Does anyone know what this is? I think it's bigger and heavier than a penny from this period and I can't figure out what it may be.
diameter: 35mm
weight: 26g
thickness: 2mm
metal: bronze or copper?
Twopence a week, and jam every other day!

It is a 1797 'cartwheel' penny or twopence from United Kingdom. Both had
the same design, with no denomination on, and only difference was the size.

So this is the famous cartwheel! I assumed the denomination just wore off, and wasn't sure what it could be since the year was gone. (Also I probably didn't measure it properly!)
Thank you so much for the help!
