Queen Mary coin?

[Jacqui]

Thank you to everyone who helped with the Queen Anne coin back in July. I have found some more coins in my brother’s things. Google tells me this one is Queen Mary. It is 2.5 cm diameter. Any information much appreciated. He found it in a rubbish pile about 20 years ago, along with what look like Dutch coins and old pennies, and a really worn heavy bronze coin.

A picture tells a thousand words. Image limit size is 500k per post, so if exceeded, leave the thread and rejoin with the next 500k.

Yes, sorry I didn't realise that was posted. I had to transfer to desktop to reduce the photo file size, so it should be there soon.Both phoos were too big

It looks Scottish, but my books are at home and I'm not, so someone else has to chip in with a reference number/value.

That’s a super-crude counterfeit, surely? Would a Scottish coin have English titles on it, I can’t say that I’d know?

Maybe, I don't know. That's why I said perhas someone else has the books to check for references and values. I see few Scottish coins apart from the early pennies, or the much more common milled bits.

I felt like I recognised it from something I had around 20 years ago, so been digging around my images. Here’s one I used to have, which was pewter (or not silver at least).
 

They are identical and, given the similarity of ‘strike,’ and the fact mine looks like a genuine field-find, I’d say they were both contemporary cast counterfeits (cast, rather than hammered from dies).

Sorted then. Well done.

Those who don't like keeping reference books/records, please note.

Thank you! Contemporary as in with the real coin? 
someone had dumped the contents of their car ashtray/ other rubbish out of their window and brother was cleaning it up.
