I think this is a copper or some other metal reproduction of this 1851 Baldwin $20 gold piece but I'm not for sure if anybody has any more information about this it would be helpful

It's a cast coin, not minted, you can tell by the grain in face of it, and the rounded, not sharp corners, that a minted coin would have. Also the green corrosion, like brass would have. It's just my observation though! :^)
But here's a link to coin quest that talks about them:

Hope this helps! :^)
