Description: | A cast lead weight, rectangular in form with a moulded fleur-de-lis on the front within a thin rectangular border. The reverse has a concave octagonal moulding. It measures 10.95mm in length, 9.55mm in width, 4.29mm in thickness, and weighs 3.51g (approximately 54 grains).Similar weights are shown in Biggs and Withers (2000, 49; refs. 156, 157) and identified as goldsmiths' bullion weights of later medieval date, corresponding to fractions of the Paris troy ounce of 30.5g (2000, 46).
