See No.247, Fig.33, Geoff Egan,Lead cloth seals and related items in the B.M. (B.M.occ.papers 93), "The well-engraved portrait is not obviously that of an English king. A late seventeenth-/early eighteenth-century date seems appropriate. Perhaps an official seal of some kind, though it lacks a clarifying legend."
