I know the first coin is a 1775, GEORGIVS III. Group 1, But What is the second one?

The first coin is a 1775, GEORGIVS III. Group I. In less than AG Condition IMO, However the second coin I am completely stumped on. Does anyone have any idea what the second coin might be?

Thanks in advance

Can't make out any details on the obverse. Can you post a picture under a brighter light, or at least post any of the legend that's legible?

If you can get a date or even partial name, that would probably be enough to give an ID. As it is, the V on the back is insufficient unless someone on here recognizes it by chance.

My best guess is this type (see also this coin on ebay).

It's definitely a 5 reis (or "reais"?) from Portugal, but the time period is uncertain (chances are, it's neither of the two types listed on Numista).

Your Portuguese coin appears to have been "clipped", perhaps to make it the same size as a halfpenny.
