Vern's Comments:

This is clearly a variant of Bramsen 344 with the bold "II" in the exergue of the obverse as the main difference and a slightly smaller anchor on the reverse. I wasn't able to find a listed variant so I've included it within the 344 listing.
A close inspection makes me think it's a capital "H".
