🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Mystery lead token

[Urien of Rheged]

I've tried casually a number of times elsewhere and offline to identify these mysterious I assume tokens I came by. There where three of them two are very worn but the third is in decent enough condition to know on one side we have somekind of beast and on the other what I first thought looked like a fella in an 18th century naval hat but as I studied more realised it's more likely a Churchman than a sailor as he has a staff and I think the hat is a mitre. It would make more sense to me that these tokens are older than the 18th century as I found them less than a metre away from where I'd found 2 Edward I coins dating 1285-1299 and a number of other medieval items, buckles, spindle whorls.
Any ideas and thoughts always appreciated.

No idea but very interesting. I reckon i may have found a couple over the years and discarded them because they were lead not realising they were tokens. I'll probably never find another one now 😆
Yeah, interesting finds there. 👍

I believe it's the image of a bishop wearing (as you suggest) a mitre and holding (?) a crozier (staff).

Yeah my searches looked that way, my searches showed very very similar images but in bronze and other metals. I couldn't find a lead version.
But yeah, I reckon you are right there.

Hi Urien of Rheged
What I believe you may have is a 17th Century Royalist Lead Trade Token Minted by Samuel Pepys

Mr. Pepys' Small Change

17th Century Tokens from London

c17thlondontokens.com

Minted from 1610 to 1650 for King Charles Ist.
As Copper was in short supply it was replaced by Lead.
Token as yours shows Lion Rampant on one side and it would have Backer's initial or symbol on other.
