55 BOYS Anti-Tank. I believe K is Kynoch and 43 is 1943. Not sure what the U1 is.

As per Ray's post, it is a .55 inch Boys round. The "UI" indicates it is an Inspector's (U) Mark I used by armourers.

It should be tinned all over, although some were left in the brass state. You example is a bit battered but they are still a nice round to find. See right hand round in attached picture.
