✅ SOLVED Large copper, what is it

[Kevo_DFX]

Hi! This is not my find, so I do not have the dimensions or weight of it, but I was told it is "About the size of a large cent." It was found in Northern Maryland.

There seems to be a left facing bust on the obverse and some calligraphic initials or lettering on the reverse. What is it?

Thanks,
KevoDFX

This is a composite image of the obverse and reverse of a Conder Token Halfpenny issued by the Parys Mine Company of Anglesey in 1788. The obverse features the well known and widely used image of a Druid. The reverse bears the cypher "PMCo" for Parys Mine Company, the date of 1788, and the legend "THE ANGLESEY MINES HALFPENNY". This token is indexed in Dalton and Hamer as Anglesey 275.

The one penny was one of my first old copper finds. Haven't found many, if any, since.
