Silver ring, 1869 coin but from what country?

[Water wizard]

Hi guys, a calm day today, I managed 3.5 hours today before the tide beat me. I found a small silver ring that my daughter has claimed, some bullets and a few old coins. I can't seam to find out where this one is from, it's got 1869 written on either side of a large W with a crown on top of the W. it's a copper coin. Any ideas?
