Not that im any kind of Specialist in pennies, but I would grade this as good fine to very fine, it is a Peck 1506 normal 1854 penny with the plain trident. Worth between £7 - £18.00 so if you paid around 17 euros would fit in that bracket.

But there are some specialists in here, who will definately know better

Thanks James

Im not good in grading didnt know how to spot cleaned and whizzed coin sometimes I buy coins in better grade but not good on my pocket.

Well copper coins is much better than bronzed series for me much thicker, quite short series from cartwheel to 1860.
