About the size of £1 coin. Or a bit bigger. That's the side of my wallet it's resting up against in the second photo.

Is it made of lead? Perhaps a seal of some kind if so.

The lettering says Tramway Company, suggests it's quite old.

A RJ21 says it says Tramway Company on it as if it is a Tramway Token or a slot machine token as per http://www.kentcoins.co.uk/british-gaming-arcade-canteen--other-tokens-197-c.asp

Looks like spent nuclear fuel pellet to me.....

Thanks for your pointers. I thought maybe a token but then it is not solid. In the second picture you can see a dark line - that is empty space, which i think used to be a bit bigger before it got squished by something. Maybe token made of two materials of which one has wasted away.

I'd agree with that.

The lettering on it is made by the crimping tool. I still use a BR one...
