I'm a beginner coin collector  and need help identifying a clipped coin that i think might be fake .

Purchased it on ebay from a reputable seller , but very little info given about the coin in the description other than ENGLISH EDWARD SILVER PENNY COIN 1d LONDON MINT. (maybe a redlight ?) Did a little research and thought that it resembles an Edward 1st  penny type 2A or 2B  (reversed bar N's , abbreviation marks short wedges , similar crown ) 

The thing that makes me think it isnt real is the observe legend  which appears to be  EDW R' NGAL' DNS' HYB  and obvious misspelling of ANGL  or perhaps even that the A is missing all together EDW R' NGL' DNS' HYB . The kings name could be EDWR but i can't see how this would fit with the other letters with no place for the REX part of the legend. 

any ideas ?

thanks
