Not quite round with H- and T on each side

Hey everyone
Found this object at a house that dates back to 1683, appears to be made of lead. Not quite round as you can see at the top. Anyone know what this is?

Anyone know about Lead Bale Seals? I wonder if that's what it is?

From what I’ve seen seals are one sided

Its simply a Lead Token, I get loads of them over here but the are very rare your side of the pond.

These cast lead tokens are tough to date but your is probably 18th C. The initials are probably the name of the maker who produced them. They have so many using you will never guess & they are largely unstudied.

See a similar 1 sided version, but you get millions of combinations & patterns, even some with dates etc...
