The Cartwheel!
Over 2 ounces of copper! Made in the 1790s in Great Britain and a FV of two pence.

Nice coin, that thing could double as a defensive weapon. As for the 20th century, the 3 heaviest bronze/copper coins I am aware of are,
1905 Korean 5 Fun - 17.2 g @ 100% fine.
1905 thru 1917 Finnish 10 Pennia - 12.8 g @ 100% fine.
1955 thru 1959 Mexican 50 Centavos - 12 g @ 95% fine.

That is quite a bit of copper; are junk versions of that coin pretty affordable?

Pretty sure the Russian 5 Kopek from the time of Catherine the Great is heavier. I think they also made a 10 Kopek in copper.. but most of us probably couldn't afford one of those.
The largest and heaviest copper coin made would undoubtedly be Swedish Plate Money!

I know it isn't backed by the government, nor is it worth it's face value but the 1 Av. Oz. ALD.
