A medieval counter or token rather than a coin.
At first sight I thought it was lead, but the reddish tones here and there suggest copper.

Nicely done, “nobody”.
So, it's pewter, which fits the general appearance.

Most definitely a variant.

They seem to be rather rare.

Thank you all for the input!
Considering the age and possible rarity, what would be a fair selling price?
Regards,
Tony
