Dont know if this helps with reading the seal this is mirrored and colours inversed....Any takers ?

The seal is 14th century ish and reads something like:

S' IDR' D' LIPETRI

I'm not sure of one or two of the letters.

Could be therefore a seal of someone called Idris from Lipetri - could be Lampeter maybe? Anyone else got any idea what Lipetri might be?

And the foreign hammered is a Double Patard of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy 1467-1477. See here for a similar one:
