Hi,

I know this is a terrible photo along with the fact that the reverse side is missing. But I'm copying this off of a web page and have virtually no control over the photographic adjustments...
If a range of years also exists, let me know the details and KM # if found.

But please do your best to identify this coin/token with as many details as possible

Thanks,
mdp

does the web site say anything about size, weight, or thickness?

nothing disclosed...

It appears to be one of those 'You're on your own' coins

I have a coin that looks just like the one posted, so I believe yours is either a halfpenny or a farthing from Great Britain, 1799. I cannot tell which one it would be though.

Good eye, Joseph. I didn't think anything could be made of that photo.

More than likely it is an 1806 halfpenny or farthing--they are much more common than 1799. Would need to see the whole 2x2 to know for sure. Halfpenny would be the size of a penny as issued by Victoria through Elizabeth II.
