I came across this coin in my dad's bag or miscellaneous foreign coins, and it doesn't look like any of the others. My best guess is George IV, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

The coin is 28 mm wide and weighs around 8 grams.

Looks like a British George IV halfpenny to me.

Size is right for a halfpenny. Unworn halfpenny is 9.3g, so again is about right.

Can't make out a date from the photo, but they were minted in 1825/6/7. Date was under the bust if you wanted to look closer.
