A medieval, silver coin: a Venetian soldino of Doge Agostino Barbarigo, dating from AD 1486 - 1501. It is 12.7mm in diameter and 0.3mm thick. It weighs 0.32gm.
These coins circulated in England during the 15th and 16th centuries as halfpennies, because there was a lack of small change at the time (Daubney, unpublished, Identifying late Medieval Venetian coins). Coins of Barbarigo are rarely found except for along the south coast of England (ibid), so this is an unusual discovery for Lincolnshire.
