This coin and or token has me confused. I can not make out the last digit in the date but 1707 seems to be the conconsensus. Any ideas?

The obverse has a near identical "dove holding olive branch" image to the London corresponding society tokens of the mid 1790's.

It's an Irish Conder token, and 1795 is the actual date; it is indeed the exact same dove on the reverse as on the anti-slavery token you've linked to. The coat of arms on the obverse is the "Associated Irish Miners" arms, and appears on numerous tokens of County Wicklow; numerous "mules" are listed in this section of the catalogue and this would presumably qualify as one of them. The token is listed in Dalton and Hamer as Wicklow #69. Example in the Fitzwilliam Museum collection.
