An imitation Spade Guinea? Portrait is of George III( faces right). II would face left. Why it appears to have II? Bad die sinker perhaps, Grease Filled Die?

It's a gaming token, quite common. There are some rare ones around with different pictures on the reverse but this one is quite a regular one. Value is around £3.
