It looks to me more like some sort of weight (maybe coin), as the writing is the wrong way around for a seal or a coin die i.e. it should be reversed.

Yep my initial thought was a forgers die (Like Casa Dos found)  but as Chef said the writing should be reversed for that.

Hi Geoff

what you can see in the photo is the 1 inch long stem thats on the back of the 'die' -- hence my comment as to a possible seal.

Could it be a master mould which when making others would reverse the lettering as suggested?
