3.61.g 15.5 X 19.5 mm
This was in a large lot of mixed uncleaned coins. I posted it on the ID board a long time ago as a possible coin--but apparently it is not. I'm not even certain of the composition, and don't want to scratch into it to determine whether it is a ceramic or metal. Do you think it could be a bulla?
Thanks much.

I have a few Papal Bulls with the lead
seals and yours isn't like any I have seen. If you can't tell it from metal or ceramic it must not be lead. Most were lead and some extremely
rare ones were gold. Most have
peter and paul on them but not all. You should be able to see where the twine at one time
ran through the center of the lead seal. They were attached to papal Bulls with twine and the twine was minted into the center of the seal. Here is a Very
Rare one of mine from Pope Callixtus III from 1455 with the original animal skin
complete Papal
Bull still attached. Written in
Roman latin. Very Very
rare to have them
complete of course. But they are really cool. Send me your email and I can send you a PDF that explains the
types of
seals used. This document is actually
signed by Pope Callixtus and some Cardinals. Scott
