I believe the profile is that of George III. The coin reminds me of 1820s-1830s Canadian tokens (look up 1820 Canadian Seated Justice token), except I don't know if they had reeded edges. Better photos of obverse and reverse would help.

Nice old copper recovery! Perhaps a bit of soaking will show some detail.

What's the diameter of the coin - can often classify it based on measurement.

1799 British Halfpenny, I think.
