Newbie help identifying coin

Hi all,

Some help please in identifying this coin (I know nothing about old coins), it's barely legible but someone will probably look at it and know it straight away.

All I can make out is ER and a crown on the front. Any ideas on value (assuming it's not a fake)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This is not Ancient and the "ER" you see looks to me like "GB". I think this would represent Great Britain. I would say you will get better luck if you post this in the World coins section. Good luck.

 

Thanks Bing! I'll put another post in World Coins (it looked ancient to me lol).

 

Its from Scotland, its a 2 Pence , Charles II dated 1683.

Can you help me find my other coin on numista please, even though it could be a forgery? https://www.cointalk.com/posts/1934838/

I've had a go at the search under tetradrachm but didn't see it there.

 

That's a tough one but you got some good responses on that thread you posted in.
