'Medieval Lead Loom Weight' or 'Victorian Pewter Medallion'?

Found this today - And going by the pictures I could find on the net its either a 'Medieval Lead Loom Weight' or a 'Victorian Pewter Medallion' Or perhaps its something else?
It measures 1 and 3/4" in diameter and about 1/4" thick.
Here are the pics - the first 2 being true to colour:

is it lead or pewter?

But hey, at least YOU found it!!!
