I am really at a loss here with this one!

There are no I.D. marks that i can see other than the date @ 1806.

On the back you have what looks like Britania seated BUT facing the other way holding the staff at her side?

Its size is slightly bigger in dimmension than a penny but twice a penny's thickness.

Other than that i dont know what to say as i dont know what to look for?

The pictures are not great but in all honesty what you can see in the photos are about what i can see looking at it in my hand.

any ideas anyone..?

It's a farthing. Unfortunately, these are very common and in this condition, worth a few pence.

Hello Red Riley,

Thank you very much for your reply, very helpfull to me.

Fortunately this one shown, is the only one that has been given to me (by my Dad) and i can now stop the mind boggling internet searches that ive been doing to try to establish what coin it is.

Thanks again Red, cheers mate
