It looks like a worn out silver coin, it does not have dimple as a knock out has. Maybe.

It's not magnetic but I'm not sure what the stamped L means ( if anything) ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1430582257.341904.jpg

A counter stamped token made from a smoothed off silver coin

I've found several but haven't researched them as to origin or who used them


Found in the UK? The ones I have, I believe that's where they came from

I agree, I don't think it is a KO too thin as well as no dimple and it does not look gal plated.

Yep, looks good. You may never get anymore info on it, but looks like a good find. Any chance you can see reeding on the edge?
