I thought token at first... it's fairly crude. But the inscription is correct, and it's not brass like the "good old days" tokens - it appears to be lead with some kind of plating. Diameter is 25-26mm. Weight 4.1g.

Any ideas? If it's a token, why use the correct inscription and date? (and risk prison or execution). But if it's a forgery, why not make it the correct weight?
