I think it might need a gentle brush to reveal some more detail Tony. Could it be made of Pewter, it looks quite dark for lead?

Lead isn’t unusual, or lead alloy. A type of livery badge, or decoration for a coach, a trunk or something else?
Here are two lead examples of similar items. One is silver plate on lead and possibly 17th century, whilst the other is lead and likely to be 19th century. Neither are identical to yours but have the same idea.
Nice find and if you can get more photos one of the experts might be able to work out the family
