    It is always helpful to post both sides of the coin, also, measure the diameter in mm. If you go to this website: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php
    click under all issuers where it says "Advanced Search." Type in the copper for Metal and put in the diameter that you measured. Scroll until you find your coin; it won't take long. Yours is a couple hundred years old and originated out of Europe. I'll leave the rest up to you, let us know what you find out!

    It looks like a completely knackered British 18th C. Georgian copper halfpenny

    That's my guess as well.

    Could it be the coin in the third (I can tell by the leaves from the crown which come to 3 points)

    Could be what's left of one. No value as a coin but there must be loads of history attached to it.

    Your new pics confirm @afantiques response. England George III most likely a half penny (looks too big to be a farthing in your first post) The date is gone but this style was minted between 1770 and 1775
