Has to be a evasion piece, with English legends and the bust of George II which was likely used much later than his reign, ie probably ca. 1780's or so.

Yes it is an evasion 1/2d. Most of these produced around 1800 - they deliberately have different legends to the currency 1/2ds - so that the makers could claim that they were not counterfeits.

This seems to be Aikins no. 305. Obverse King looks to left (as for the earlier George II)

Obverse GOD SAVE THE KING.

Reverse BRITAN NIA, date 1771.
