Is it a penny Nobby? or if not sure what size is it? it's definitely Bristol mint.

I'm going to agree with Chef - It's definitely Bristol and the ABR quarter narrows it down to class 2b - 3(etc) - on the obverse the crown ornaments are pearls - so class 3a or 3b, but the drapery on his neck doesn't have distinctly curved ends, which narrows it down to class 3b, Edward I, Bristol mint.
