Customs Seal, ACC 160, Image & Found by Jorvik Andi.
Found in North Yorkshire – Parish – Naburn, York.
19mm diameter.
Probably an animal import seal. The rivet has been stamped with a device similar to the Dutch (rampant lion) arms and other features are reminiscent Dutch customs seals particularly the ones known to be animal tags.
From Jan van Oostveen, "It was only used for the tail and not for the ear. ... from authentic documentation from the mid-19th century where it is mentioned how these seals were used. [Scheffer, D.H., 1909. De Geslachtswet. Amsterdam.]" See Oostveen, J. van, 2019, Tax seals used in The Netherlands as proof that 'accijns op het geslacht' was paid.
