Part of a collection I inherited from my grandparents.

I have not been able to nail this one down. None of the pictures I found match up exactly. The curly cue of the hair and the lettering around the outside don't match up to the pictures I've looked at.

It looks like a Great Britain 1/2 Penny KM 601. What is the size of the coin?

Sorry for the poor quality of the scan but if you look closely you see that it is the same coin.
