    Well it is interesting, unfortunately George III was king in 1801, but not 1701.

    In any case it purports to be a copper striking of a Geo. III Guinea or Half Guinea.

    Looks like an imitation spade guinea token/counter/jeton to me.
    Many hundreds of varieties were issued, mostly in brass, I believe.

    Read all about them here.

    I never pay too much for my tokens...but every now and then I may buy them too soon.
