Hi, can anyone pull any more info off this coin 22mm wide 1.2 mm thickness. I can read part COR on the front and just make out BRITAN on obverse of coin and a faint date 17? Thanks again.

Can not see any COR but maybe C OR which would be G OR for
GEORGIUS lettering, with yes BRITAN-NIA on reverse.

Not sure about portrait, so may be an ‘Evasion’ coin.

Looking at obverse again, may not be C OR lettering
but C OL for CAROLVS instead.
Example [22.5mm] - N#12907
The curved shape below the portrait looks similar as well.
Except - if you see 17?? numbers then this is 1672-1679 years.

Looks alright, so not an evasion coin, as was
comparing the [Charles] portrait with George coins.

Just had a look at the date again but very faint and looks like 1679, the 6 & 9 is more prominent than the other remaining date numbers.
