Description: | Cast lead or lead alloy weight (or possibly a very thick token) of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1650). The weight is circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The edges around the front face are faceted; the design on the front consists of high relief cast ribs and pellets. These forms the initial I b or possibly 91 depending on direction of orientation. The lines are all pellet terminalled and there are two pellets in the field, one below the 9 (or above the b) and one after the 1 (or before the I). The reverse face is plain and undecorated. The weight is a mid grey brown colour with an even slightly abraded patina that covers all surfaces. A direct parallel for this weight has not been found.The weight measures 28.2mm in diameter and is 5.7mm thick. It weighs 22.83 grams or 0.81ozs (352.8 grains).
