Help with a coin identification

OK... time for a quiz...
Can anyone possibly recognize anything about this coin. It's quite worn and leaves me clueless. Sorry for the poor presentation but it's as clean as I could get it and this was the best photo I was able to get which showed remaining detail. The coin is about the size of a half dollar and looks like copper/possibly bronze?

The tail side appears to be a woman sitting down on something with her arms outstretched and holding someting. She is facing to her right with her left leg outstretched and right leg folded back.

I dug this out of a soccer field a few days ago in Holliston Massachusets. I guess it was a good detecting day because I also dug a nickel (an 1883 Liberty Head (V) with cents). The Nickel is in tough shape for wear but the date and head side are at least quite readable.

Thanks!

Here's an example -
Yours would date somewhere between 1727 & 1760 (Years of George II's reign).

Thanks Toby,

That sure looks like a very close match to me.
 
Interestingly enough, I just read on the web that the Brits shipped 800,000 King George II Half Pennys (all dated 1749) to Massachusetts to help pay the colonists for their assistance in the Lewisburg Expedition.
