Description: | A crudely cast, circular, lead alloy trade weight, probably home made, probably post medieval in date. The upper surface is punched with the letters E and J flanking a central punched dot. The reverse is plain. The edges of the disc are rounded and the centre of each face is recessed. At 0.69 ounces, it does not seem to fit any usual measure of weight. It is 28.3mm in diameter and 4.7mm thick. It weighs 19.62gm. For an example of a similar, but more official looking object see SWYOR-DAA4A3 on the PAS database.
