I found this among some coins I bought some time ago. I had not noticed before the circular mark, which looks to me like a countermark. Is it one? What is the significance? (A google search turns up one Elizabeth I Peeny with a lozenge countermark at Spinks, but no explanation as to what it signified.)

As far as I can see the coin is S2570 - Third/Fourth issue Penny. Mintmark maybe Lion?

Thanks for any assistance.

I should add, last image rotated - Elizabeth's ear now at about 2 O'Clock. I thought I could see a head shape in the countermark but cannot get it to come out clearly in the picture.
