Found this LC out in the fields at a former homestead dating back to atleast 1868,the house was still standing in 1938....and is now gone

The coin is in very good shape for a field find,but does show a good patena so there is some age to it....

On the reverse is the word's "One Cunt" instead of the normal one cent...

Curious if anyone knows anything about these....

Thanks
