You need to clean it up a bit and have a better look, and post another pic Soapy water and a soft brush or ultrasonic cleaner.
Try googling cleaning lead finds

Here you go

Bronze, Copper, Brass, Lead and Pewter:
Wash and clean in warm soapy water, use an old stiff toothbrush to get as much dirt off as possible. If really stubborn dirt cannot be removed after brushing, leave the items to soak in a plastic container filled with household paraffin. Remove the item from the paraffin from time to time and brush with the toothbrush to get into small crevices and lettering in coin legends. However, be very careful not to scratch too hard and end up marking the metal or any patina that is present.

When it's clean see if there's what appears to be a hole in the edge each side, may be a bag / cord seal. I've got one of those somewhere in the garage
