Its a Richard II you can tell this by the mm cross above the Kings head, its also to big to be a farthing.

Iv added a photo of the Richard farthing I found, sorry to the people who seen it :-\

Thanks Dale, it's a half penny then. I believe it's London mint too. Do you think the bust looks odd though like slightly double struck
