It is clearly William IV of England. His queen was Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen. So it's British, and probably circa 1831, since that was their...
The closest I've seen in Google Image searches are some with a crowned G, but no exact match. I'm not up to speed with counterstamps, other than...
Edit, 10/1/19- this thread was originally titled Help w/unknown counterstamp on 1723 Spain 2-reales? But since some other folks have piled on...
A talented family, then. Splendid.

Yep. It's glue. Was stuck to other coins, which is how you get that impression of the reverse on there.
Another (relatively inexpensive) newp from @CircCam. Like the 1853 quarter I recently posted (which also came from him), it's got that nice...
Thanks! Credit should go to me, Robertson Shinnick, rather than to CoinTalk, but it really doesn't matter. Nice looking writeup. Do check out...
*** UPDATE: SWAPPED! *** But you can still have a chance at it! You see, @spirityoda swapped me for this coin- and one other- and they will both...
