Description: | Post medieval lead weight, 17mm in diameter and 5mm thick. It weighs 10.52g (162.4gn, 0.37oz).
It consists of a flat unmarked disc. It appears to be a trade weight or possibly a crude coin weight, and is unclear as to which system of weights it belongs. In the provinces most weights were made of lead until the end of the seventeenth century. Lead weights were finally banned in 1834. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
