It says god save the king on obverse . No date, can’t make out reverse. There is a word where the date should be. Anyone have any idea?

This is known as an evasion copper, not quite a counterfeit because of the "evasive" or bogus legend. GOD SAVE THE KING / BRITAN NIAS [ISLES in exergue] This is listed as EH-306 with a catalog value of about $20 in good.

Thanks man!
The bust of the king is George II, but it was likely made mid GIII's reign when bronze coinage was scarce.
