Aug 12, 2021 at 8:20 comment added oner Much appreciated to everyone that looked into this coin. Particular thanks to LangLang and ed.hank for your research and knowledge, unfortunately it does not seem to be anything of any interest or significance but I will keep my eyes out when on holiday for treasures washed up on the shore. Good luck to all.

Aug 11, 2021 at 16:55 comment added MAGolding @ed.hank Who was the King William whose coins you think this is a cheap imitation of? You should have specified it in your answer.
Aug 11, 2021 at 16:54 comment added ed.hank I added why P instead of W, The R?E? are labeled that way because that is a guess, could be those letters but several of the lower ones are degraded and difficult to decipher. I searched all combinations of the inscription through a database and the only matches were William coins. None matched a PILEMEL search. No coins in the db match this inscription or details and several things wrong with it besides the inscription, like the reverse inscription, width, and thickness. I sent a picture to my friend at the ANS for his opinion, when he replies I will update. A weight of coin would help.
Aug 11, 2021 at 16:21 comment added LаngLаngС Currently, not convinced at all: which original coin would come closest to this (pics plz), the "plating off" can just as well be patina coming off revealing original metal, is the +Pillem really a P, does it read pilemel [I see no chance for 'rex'] and so on. Please include how you decipher the individual characters. (perhaps explain why 'William' would be lettered starting with P—the PDFs are nice, but their most relevant content seems valuable in the answer)
