Betts-516 variety, struck in Silver. 40mm.

A popular type with a portrait of William Pitt on the obverse surrounded by the Latinate legend GVLIELMUS PITT, and THE MAN WHO HAVING SAVED THE PARENT PLEADED WITH SUCCESS FOR HER CHILDREN on the reverse.

The signature on the bust T. PINGO F. for Thomas Pingo indicates that this is an original issue made in 1766, and not a later restrike.

And this a lovely, lustrous example with old cabinet toning on the obverse and reverse.
