I hope someone can help please.  I have what purports to be a Geo III half guinea but the date appears to be 1701 which would be impossible.  It has the spade shield on the reverse and the lettering all looks ok.
any thoughts please?

 A Guinea coin is gold - that is not. 

There are many on here the same -
