 A guinea token, but one I've not seen before. Nicely struck up too.
Can't find it in  "A Thousand Guineas Plus" (Neilson and Warburton, 2013).

Obv: What appears to be the correct bust of George III, right
         GEORGIVS · III   DEI · GRATIA

Rev: Can't pin down if the shield is right for the date, there were a few varieties
         M · B · F · ET · H · REX · F · D · B · ET · LD · S · R · J785

It looks to be an imitation of a Third Head guinea with a Fourth Head date

The legend is incomplete. 24 mm, 4.9 gr.
