That little piece sticking out on the left where its curled looks like a silver color so my guess is aluminum.

So far, every single monitor that I have scrapped yields a copper degaussing cable. Tvs however have a high percentage of aluminum ones. THe only copper ones with color I have found were red. Most assuradely this one is aluminum. You will be able to tell just by holding it the difference in weight. That will come in time.
