    Fortunately both sides are fake, so at least they didn't bastardize real coins.

    Clearer pictures just help to verify it is a fantasy coin.
    No numistamic value but keep it as a conversation piece.

    The face on that 1817/4 looks quite sour.
    It appears to match the Patrick Mint advertising token (upper left):

    The "1807" side is a replication of the "Bearded Goddess" variety.

    Did you happen to notice that the token is quite a bit smaller in diameter than a normal half dollar coin ?
    (27.0mm for your item, a genuine Bust half dollar is at least 30.5mm).

    PS:
    It is most likely silver-plated copper.

    1807 O-111b obverse and 1817/4 O-102 reverse. A neat piece for a counterfeit/magician's coin. Have never seen one like it.
