This earlier one is closer, but still not exact. (The bow is large, but not open like on yours). I'm sure a coin person here will nail the exact variety soon: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...penny-km-601-1770-1775-cuid-86429-duid-235565

Can you make out any of the writing above the bust? I can see a few letters but not sure what they are. Not sure if it's even a king George or not might be a state copper or something

I think I found it. I think it is a 1787 non regal british half penny.
