Jetton/Token? Metal Detecting Find Identify?

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

found this yesterday near my home in Scotland, unsure of the style and origin of it but I believe it to be a jetton. Any care to put some light on its particulars?

Many thanks,

It's hard to see from the pictures,  can you make out any of the legends?

It's definitely a coin. Looks to be something like a Portuguese sixty reis coin from the 18th century. What is its diameter?
