Copper Obv.Bust of Isabel II cross with castle and lions in angles Mint mark I dont know where it is located or where your coin is minted but there is two,J and JA from 1837-1850.
Dated 1855
only two year date 1853 and 1855 mint mark B and BA.
Mintage in hypen unknown pre 1860 so maybe there is a shortage of copper coinage or copper coinage is not numbered like silver and gold maybe regal and non regal coinage due to shortage of copper this is evident in coinage of USA and UKGB
