looks almost like someone took a UK coin and changed it into a Love Token. Can you make the images larger with less glare?
Can you give us some sizes/weight too?

I thought portrait looked like a King George. What size is it?

Yep, it's a normal British halfpenny that someone has ground flat on one side and re-engraved their own personal message on. "RPR" are presumably the initials of whoever made it.

Unless it is a personal family heirloom, I'm afraid you will likely never find out who "RPR" is, or why they made it.
