Cloth Seal, George I, Alnage, Lion on Crown, 1714 onward, Image by Derfel, Found by Peter Olivant.
Found on Thames foreshore, ?mm.

Blank // head facing right MAG BRI REX around // lion on crown, 3 to left // blank

A complete four disc alnage seal with disc 2 displaying the bust of George I with MAG BRI REX curved around. Disc 3 shows a lion on a crown with 3 to left. Both have a circular border of short rays.

See Geoff Egan, 'Lead cloth seals and related items in the B.M. (B.M.occ.papers 93)' No specific match but portrait matches George I, see Figs.27 & 28 Nos.154, 161 & particularly 168. Those shown in Egan all seem to be for a 1 ½ d. alnage levy.
