Went to a huge 1890 property this weekend . Didn’t kill it but had a great weekend found a few early flat buttons and this mystery coin? Appears to be maybe a KG2 half penny size. Very thin. The neck line appears different maybe? Facing left and hair bow fairly visible. Also appears holed with the edge missing. Pretty toasted overall and the back has not details I can see. Would appreciate any thoughts on the coin. Thanks everyone

Hole with break above looks like it was on a necklace or similar at one time and yanked off. Head doesn't look quite right to me to be KGII. It's definitely an old copper.

I agree with Almy. Definitely looks like an old copper, but I can't identify it. I see a left-facing bust, but it doesn't seem like a KGII. I hope someone can identify it.

Congrats on the Copper !

It's up to you but I'd ...
soak the coin in Olive Oil for a month or two - a slow but safe process that loosens surface crud.
Take the coin out every once in a while and use a wood tooth pick or soft tooth brush to clean it.
Then maybe you'll be able to ID the coin.

Good Luck !

Pretty sure not a coin.
You can see the holed top for a medallion/pendant. So a kind of bust on a pendant.

A State copper?
