thanks everyone, I hope I continue this hammered streak tomorrow (shortcross would be good), even better would be a Gold coin of any age

Fascinating to say the least.
I did a rough search on the cheapside item.
I could not believe how popular that place is!

Very swell finds

I always love seeing what you pull out of your fields there Cru.
This is a cool looking piece, any thoughts on what it's from?

I don't know for sure, but I always thought them to be late 19th C.

They are both Lead Tokens, quite common in our area, but very little study done on them & near impossible to attribute to any maker or place. I helping a local book writer with these.

The left has two crossed I's so old English JJ, reverse plain. (circa 17th C)
The right is a fleur-de-lue, reverse similar to union jack design. (possibly 16th C)

If it had a different fittment, I would have said Military Shoulder/Lapel badge, but not seen this attachment before, so no idea, other than Military.
