✅ SOLVED 1797 Coin

[JonG]

Tried to EDIT the title, but don't know how. The date is 1787, not 1797,

Asking "can anyone identify this coin", seems like a silly question with the collective knowledge of Treasurenet Crew, but here goes.

Can anyone help me identify this coin?

Looks like it's made of copper. Dated 1787, 29mm in diameter and weighs 8.2 grams.
