Unidentifiable copper (at least by me) posting for you experts out there :-)

I'd love to know what this old copper coin is! There not much detail left, but a few clues (visible bust outline on the obverse, and a visible 'R' on the back) ...

It was 5" down in a "low spot" in a curb strip - so it was likely frequently in saturated soil 😑.

Thanks for looking!!

Can't make it out but maybe someone else here can. Can you show something for scale, like a dime perhaps?

If I had to guess....maybe a KG III.
