British halfpenny of George III. 1770-something. You can even see part of the date. Obviously a dug coin- I wouldn't be surprised if it was somebody's detector find, though on which side of the pond, who knows.
PS- looks like a regal issue halfpenny to me. NOT a penny- copper pennies weren't struck until the massive steam-struck "Cartwheel" issues of 1797. Not a Georgius Triumpho, either, as far as I can tell. Nor does it appear to be an evasion copper. It's just a normal regal issue Brit halfpenny of the period.

Edit to say ,,,No it isn't this one.
My WAG. It's an English halfpence or farthing.
R.I.P. Bear
