Found this in NH today and I can't tell what it is. I'm hoping the copper gurus chime in and help me out. Hopefully the pictures are okay.

I have added the last two pictures for a size comparison.

Thanks for reading

Update on your Unknown coin. I can see the outline of Britannia on the First Image which leads me to believe that you have a King George II Copper Farthing (only his coins had this style of Britannia) of date 1731-1754. If the Bust were clearer I could narrow it down, but it still is one heck of an old coin! HH
