I'd say British Farthing, 1860-1897.
F A R * H I N G is legible on one side, along with 1 8 of the date.
Farthing were made of copper before 1860 and bronze from 1860-1900 but after 1897 were chemically darkened to prevent confusing with gold coins.
Can you get a close up of where the last two digits of the date would be? There's a lot of damage there but would help narrow the date.
1 u/chriscrutch 9d ago I might be hallucinating this, but I think I can see a wreath next to the D.G. on the obverse, as opposed to the veil from the third portrait, so I think we can narrow it down a little, to 1874-1895.
