What is this 1862 coin?

[rayray3]

Neighbors brought over what looked like a copper coin with a lady one one side facing left. Its dated 1862 on the back bottom. Its about the size of a half dollar.
Its very worn on the back and front. The letters BR is by her head and ends with the letter D.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
rayray

Dollar-wise it may not be worth much, but it's conversational, educational and historic value is far greater.
