No idea but I do think it is more likely pewter than lead.Pewter is a mix of lead ,tin and a small dose of copper. The lead in it is most likely oxidized and affected the obverse details. If you could get it cleaner it may have something more to tell.

Actually it does look like an exact match with both having the same roof line and the same clump of grass. Yours is just worn and missing the sides. Bramblefind nailed it :)
