Well, it's George IV so it'll be 1826. As to what it is, that depends on the diameter, can you give us a measurement?

There can't be any question that it isn't 1826 as it's very definitely the portrait of George IV - alganbagerap got it spot on.

It must be a half penny.

Probaby no need to increase your insurance premiums just yet - lets hope you have lots of enjoyment sorting through your family collection though.
