Can you help with an ID on this penny please?

Found today in pasture, I'm not sure why it would have the two holes in it and the reverse has a gold "Tint" to it!

Thanks in advance

the gold glint is tarnishing which is fairly common on silver strangely it yellows as well as the usual black oxidisation.lovely coin there.

hi botty-burp. greatcoin, would agree that it is edward the confessor  radiate type spink number 1173, again the holes would suggest it was mounted on a bracelet, like the old silver 3pences, so i would go back and look for the rest if was  you. but what a great coin anyway, thanks for the look mick
