Maybe a British Farthing? The second picture is too blurry for my old eyesto make out but it looks like abust with lettering around the edge.

I suspect your coin is much older than 1721.In fact (I'm assuming it's copper??) it looks a lot like a C. 1589 to 1650 type French copper double tournois coin. At least from what I can see. I assume the reverse is blank?

With some better pics I'm sure we can get this ID'd.

It's not British & reminds me of a Jetton.
