Almost sure thats its a ShyCock token. These were produced as 'substitute' for the real thing. The lead tokens often had tethered cocks with stones or lead weights being thrown at them. Cock Shies was a Medieval game where people stoned the birds to death. It was dieing out in the 18th century but the boys would throw these lead tokens at a bird shaped target.
