Queen Victoria Bun Head penny. This type of bronze coin was issued by the Heaton Mint in 1874, 1875 and 1877.
There are three Obverse types (6, 7 and 8) covering this year according to Spink. Unfortunately, there is too much wear to determine which one matches this particular coin.
Designated as Reverse type H by Spink.
