It seems possible to me that the undertype is a Montreal Bank token, with the legend "DEUX - PROVINCE DE" being what is readable on the bit of the brockage which survived the overstrike.
If so...this would be a very later counterfeit halfpenny ! Despite the 1769 date would date to c. 1830s.
Any input much appreciated - only wish I had spotted this earlier !
