Description: | A cast copper-alloy weight or counter of possible Roman date. It is flat, circular in form and has three evenly spaced circular perforations. The object is slightly unevenly cast with one side being thicker than the other and it has a pale green patina. It measures 11.97mm in diameter, 3.83mm in thickness, and weighs 2.26g. This is probably a small weight or counter. A similar example, with four punched dots on each side, is noted from London (LON-FFBCD1), and two small disc shaped copper-alloy weights are published from Colchester (Crummy, 1983: nos. 2511-2512). This might indicate a Roman date for the current example, although an Early-Medieval or later date cannot be ruled out entirely.
