Description: | Cast lead disc shaped weight with straight edges and stamped official mark. The circular stamp is towards one edge and has illegible lettering around a central symbol, the symbol may be crowned with the crown breaking the inscription. 35.1mm in diameter, 3.5mm thick and weighs 26.60 grams, 0.936 ounce. Locally made and stamped lead weights were produced by a range of county and borough authorities in the Post Medieval period, continuing into the 19th century. Kent used a rearing horse on a shield, this example is too corroded and worn to see if that is the symbol represented here.
