St. George and Dragon Mystery Coin??

[UnderMiner]

Found this the other day. It is a St. George and Dragon image on a lead slug of some kind. It says "depose" under the image. The reverse is blank. Any idea as of age or what it is? I found it along with some buttons and other things that appear to date from the 1890's - 1910's. I don't think this was ever a button or part of one as it's made of lead and has no shank or any sign of ever having one... what could it be? Thanks

This one was listed as a ring.
Unfortunately the auction seems to be old and I was unable to find anything more about it.

Just a thought but could it say deposo (Catalan Spanish). St George is very popular saint in Spain!

It seems like there is perhaps a line of wear on the back as though it had a pin fastened to it maybe? If so it may have been a lapel pin or tie tack. There's not a mark on the top of the rim as to have had an eyelet at the top, for use as a charm is there?
