Either S2198A or S2199 depending on whether the inner arch is jewelled or not. It is difficult so say. The mintmark looks to be a pansy on the reverse, but the obverse doesn't look like it. The letters look to be of the ornate type, so that would eliminate S2199A.

I was interested by quantity of rosettes on reverse side.is it unusual?

Rosettes, trefoils or saltire stops are used at various times in the reign. Potter & Winstanley don't note rosettes as being particularly rare. Presumably some form of identification?
