siege coin to id

(1/1)

rick2:
i bought this hoping that it could be some siege coin (slim chance but worth taking)

it has a castle with three towers and AIR written at the center of it

the other side looks flat.

it could be made of lead

weight 12.3 grams
34mm


any ideas ?

Ginolerhino:
I would say this is a lead bulla, formerly attached to some official document.

rick2:
thanks !

it could definitely be

how can i find out more on the possible issuer?

Ginolerhino:
I do not know much about lead seals. Maybe the castle-symbol and the letters A R could point to some king of Castille named Alfonso?
