Possibly an Edward I or II withers type 9 halfpenny of the London mint. There appears to be a letter A after hYB ob legend reads as EDWA R ANGL DNS hYB (though the typ 9 legend reads as EDWAR R ANGL DNS Hyb). The coin is too small to be a penny and the legend does not match any farthing inscription so will have to be a halfpenny.
The diameter is 18mm and the weight 1.42g.
