Solved! Post Medievel Squirrels & Shield Token

Greetings,
Dug this small 14mm piece,
appears to be two pieces sandwiched with bezel eroded on both sides,
I think I see a pistol, or an elephant
the area where it was dug rarely yields anything post 19th century.
I know it's a long shot, but that's what 'Whatsit' is for
Thanks to Ironspike & Mackaydon, here is a link to the Database page.

Turn the bottom pic 180 degrees and I see two squirrels facing each other with their tails up, holding a giant acorn.Picture the acorn between these two:http://www.inkity.com/catalog/product/2/10056/Cherry-Picking-Squirrels.html

Re: Pendant/Medallion

Is it the same design on both sides? It seams to have a ribbon or banner on the bottom.

A Post-Medieval pewter token. A small (diameter 14mm) circular token, 2.5mm thick and 3.3g in weight. Both sides depict what appear to be two squirrels either side a shield.
