Very strange colonial coin or token???

[Bill D. (VA)]

A friend found this at a colonial site recently. Never seen anything like it. Its quite thick (same as 2 quarters stacked together). Appreciate any help with this weird piece.

I'm leaning toward an old coin weight of some kind being so thick:

It definitely has the physical attributes for a coin weight, but there do not appear to be any markings to validate that.

The portcullis (grate) is a Tudor symbol. I'd guess a British coin of some type.

I can't find anything close to yours - here's an example.



Going by the thickness I'd guess some type of Jeton. (English token).

I also agree British coin weight...only thing I can add is that I think I see a '6' above the porticullius

Check this thread from 2013. No ID but looks like a similar coin/weight.
