Description: | A complete cast weight of Medieval date (c. AD 1150 - c. AD 1200). Diameter: 35.8mm; thickness: 21.2mm. Weight: 151.53g. (5.3455 ounces).The weight is circular in plan with a convex, almost carinated, edge. Both faces are flat and have a diameter of 23.6mm. The maximum diameter at the girth is 35.8mm. One face has a serifed letter S composed of silver embedded into and flush with the surface. At the centre of the other face is a small central depression. The copper alloy casing probably contains a lead rather than a lead core as the object is non-magnetic.The object has a dark brown patina overall.Compare with Egan 1998, 309, refs. 974-5.
