Wow, Habib, that certainly is the most dramatic double strike of one of these I've seen in a long time.
Very nice indeed.

Yes very impressive!
I would be interested to know it's weight. At that time a very high proportion of British copper coinage was contemporary counterfeit, or non-Regal, which is not to knock it as both are very collectable. Some of the detail on yours looks like it might be one of the non-regal ones, but the weight would confirm it.

A 1700s error with a readable date? What's not to like?  |

It is indeed double struck. The axis appears to be about 50 degrees CW obv, 30 degrees CCW rev; with an offset of approximately 5mm obverse and 6mm reverse, assuming the planchet has not been cut down. The second strike is rotated approximately 10 degrees CCW relative to the first strike, from what I can tell. I hope you don't mind but I used your images to add some markers.

Hi every body, Thank you so much for your kind opinions and caurage. I am very happy and excited that I have this coin. I have been asked about the weight of this coin, and I am happy to say that it's weight is 9.5g and it is in the normal range of the weight of this coin. I am also uploading sharp images of the coin again. I am waiting to hear again from you. With best regards, Habib.   |

At 9.5g it is certainly in the right range for a Regal issue coin, which is great. Britannia's face does not look (to me) like the Regal issue, but that may be as a result of the double strike.
Lovely coin and well worth hanging on to. You didn't ask about value, but if you did come to sell it, you would find it would fetch a better price in the US (and maybe Australia) than it would in the UK, where there is much less interest in error coins.
