Jon, your coin is either an Atkins 255 or Atkins 256. Atkins 255 is Cobwright
G.0740./B.0430 with Britan Nia dated 1771 or Atkins 256 which is Cobwright
G.0740./B.0460 with Britan Nia dated 1774. I cannot tell from your reverse which the date is and I do not have either of these two reverses in my collection.
If you are interested in Evasions send a request to the following: EvasionCopper-subscribe@yahoogroups.com .
I will try to respond immediately on your request.

Hi Steve,
Thanks very much for the information. I've been trying to get hold of
a copy of "A journey through the Monkalokian rain forests in search of
the spiney fubbaduck" for quite a while now. Since Cobwright only
lives a hundred miles from me here in England it seems daft to order a
copy from Bill; but unfortunately he (Cobwright) hasn't got any copies
in stock at the moment so I'm waiting for the next run on the
photocopier.
I've attached a small scan of the reverse, it's quite worn apart from
a nice set of pins on Britannia. It's a pity the colours haven't come
out very well in the scans as the metal hasn't been mixed particularly
well, resulting in some wonderful red swirls on both sides.
