181? Silver Coin - Need help I.D'ng

I found this today at an old homesite. My next door neighbor showed me around to 6 different sites on his property. I will have alot of hunting to do! I also found an IH about 10ft. from this coin.
At first I thouhgt this coin was from Mexico, now I'm thinking England. The best I can tell on the date is 1811 or 1814. It is pretty scratched and wore thin. What do you guys think?

Tht does look very close JasonB. I was looking at my coin through a magnifier and at the pic. The differences I seen were the back of the head. Mine is a flatter profile and the chin on mine doesn't seem to be as rounded as the pic. It looks like the bust overall is skinner than the ones I've seen so far. The ribbon coming from the hair doesn't match anything I've seen yet either.

Also the nose on the 1812 Lima seems different from the one I saw, which is here:

A few more items found at the Reale site.

What's left of a pocketknife: it says Our Boy on the sides, a good luck token, and a very thin pin of some sort.

Gators:
Thanks for the Email.
BTW, the mint mark is for Mexico City. ("M" after the "X" in "REX") as best seen by rotating the highlighted coin 90 degrees to the right.
Also, there are a couple of OUR BOY knives on eBay but I didn't see one that was exactly like yours. Maybe it's just a knife and not a pocket knife.
