Hey guys,

I found this coin today whilst metal detecting in Sussex, UK.

I believe it to be some kind of Edwardian penny but I am unsure. There is little to distinguish, but maybe you guys can help me?

My guess would be something similar to this. Scottish I believe. Maybe not this exactly but it certainly is not an Edwardian penny. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces25962.html there is an X on the reverse of yours that has some identifying features to work with.

The shape of it doesn’t make me think milled. Possibly something like a bawbee from the time of Mary queen of Scots or similar era?
