@JB316, first welcome to CCF. Second, that looks British (Canterbury mint) to me, but I'll recommend that the mods move it to the medieval and ancients section so that the right eyes look at it.

I agree looks like a (1247-1279) British Henry III hammered penny

I think I am seeing a legend that reads + EDWAR ANGL DNS HyB on the obverse which makes it a coin of one of the Edwards. I don't know enough to tell which Edward, and whether it is a halfpenny or a penny. But this is a start. Edit: Perhaps this Edward II penny https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces112090.htmlEdited by tdziemia

The crown is very odd as is the way the drapery extends completely through the border. What is the diameter and weight?

What is the diameter and weight? If that is a penny sized 2 x 2, which would have a 20 mm opening, then I get a diameter ranging between 13.5 and 14.5 mm (i.e too small for a penny). If it is a larger size 2x2, then the diameter is larger. Can't estimate the weight from here  Edited by tdziemia

Sorry for the late reply. That link above was helpful. The coin is between 18mm and 19mm because it isn't perfectly round.
It weighs 1.1g.
I see the II so I guess it is Edward II and a penny?

At 18-19mm it is a penny (the Canterbury mint is also a clue as no Edward halfpennies were struck at Canterbury)
Edward I. "EDWA R ANGL DNS HYB" / "CIVITAS CANTOR"
Looks like a late 10 or early 11, cf. type 10cf2 (Spink 1412; the most common late class 10 issue) with stubby R, round backed C's, broken left crown ornament, no stops, and thick L in ANGL.

EDWA R ANGL DNS HYB would translate "Edward, King of England and Lord of Ireland," It's great that paralyse has made a definiitive attribution of your coin to the first Edward! Edited by tdziemia
