I think it is some kind of token. For the poor people in like 15th / 16th century. To pay as some kind of money. But not normal used issues. It looks like lead. And the marks don´t appear to be some kind of seal for clothes aswell.

Many thanks for your replies, does anyone believe this is a token or coin?, have trawled the web and can't find anything like it.

I think it looks more like this. Because of the material. This is an dutch site but these kind of coins/tokens were for poor people. The ones of petrus are not lead coins/tokens but bronze. If I'm correctly.
