Could Someone Possibly Identify My Coin?

    I'm not very experienced in Ancient Coins, so I have no clue what I have in my possession.
    This coin is exactly 1 1/4" in diameter.
    The sound it makes when dropped is a VERY high pitched sound.
    I've been told it may be a Greek coin, but they weren't very certain.
    Could anyone possibly identify this coin and give me some input on when it may have been created?

    I doubt it's ancient. That looks like Brittania.
    Maybe a farthing or something?

    Yeah, looks like George III. Something british. Just noticed your diameter. I guess that'd be a penny.

    Thank you. So much.
    I've looked for hours trying to find this coin, when all I had to do was ask you guys for help. Thank you! I've done what research I can and have come to the realization that what I have is a 1799 Britannia Farthing. Again, thank you!
