Every succeeding monarch since Charles II (since milled coinage) face in opposite directions.

Very odd? It wouldn't be plated as such as lead has the lower melting point and so what ever it is/was must have been filled with lead, I would say mount but the remaining dots on the reverse look as if they were for grip and must have a purpose Undecided

A pedal grip I shall say! Possibly off an old toy child's car but certainly looks as if the ends would off fastened too something while the dots that was mentioned could been for grip. Huh
