Grotty token Id

Post by ebbers »

A long shot, but just out of my own curiosity, I wonder if anyone can identify what I assume is an old & rather grotty copper token that I dug up the other day.
There's no details on one side & very little on the other although a few letters are visible, and a bit of a design. It looks to have been deliberately pierced.
Found on pasture, but can't remember any numbers or depth.
Thanks for looking.

I can see part of the motto 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' so possibly a livery button.

Thanks to you all for that.
Slightly more interesting than I'd thought.

"Yep, snide Geo III shilling."
"George 111 forgery

So would that be why it's had a hole put through it?
