Description: | Copper alloyWeight, as identified by finder. A cast disc with lightly bevelled edge. The Roman numeral VI is neatly stamped into one face. This detail is considered as possibly Roman for some lead weights, which are described as bearing incuse numbers. It might be equally apt to a Post-Medieval or Modern object - the thickness is exactly 2mm, which might hint at its manufacture in correspondence to the metric system. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Modern, 40-1900.Diameter: 16.6mm, Thickness: 2.0mm, Weight: 2.90gms.
