Thanks for all the advice. It does look more likely to be one of the Scottish shillings, if it is genuine - the link to the Queen Anne guide was very interesting by the way. But I agree that the odd words on the reverse mean it is probably a fake/unofficial token of some kind, especially as it also looks a lot less well made than the coins pictured above (not a proper milled edge, more like a hammered coin in fact). An illiterate Scots forger at work, perhaps? Still fascinating, though. I am now trying to remove the muck obscuring the rest of the legend!

Rats. Defeated by technology once again! I will have another go at attaching the picture...

Hello. I have a coin I can't identify, and I am hoping someone here can help me out. The coin is silver, 23 mm in diameter and very thin. I can only read part of the legend arround the edge, but it appears to be Queen Anne on the obverse with English, Scottish and Irish emblems on the reverse, plus one other I can't make out. My cheap scanner is not up to the job of getting a usable image of the coin, so I have had to resort to pen and paper. (I hope) I have attached my drawing - please note, the grey areas are too dirty or corroded (can silver corrode?) to make out. And the squiggles on the reverse represent lions! Thanks.
