Of what this could be. The side in the picture has OG at the bottom and 3 divots in it at the top. Other side has a crown in the middle and VA under it,at the bottom it says THOMPSON. thanks for any ideas.
 
To blurry for me... Shoot the picture using the camera's macro setting for closeups..
 
I already IDed it at another site...

Its VR not VA, Vitoria Regina (queen Victoria). Its a keyhole cover for a Thompson padlock. And its brass not copper.

ABRAHAM THOMPSON, This firm was established in 1831 for the manufacture of all kinds of padlocks and night latches for home and export. Thompson sold his locks to the United States, as a number appear for sale there. From 1851 to 1861 they were located at 28 Temple Bar, Willenhall. They remained there until 1912 when they merged with Jonah Banks & Sons, padlock manufacturers, of Clothier Street, Willenhall.
