Description: | A copper alloy disc with decoration on one side of uncertain function, possibly a coin or traders weight. The disc is 36.9mm diameter and 5.7mm thick. Both surfaces have been very heavily corroded so the details are very unclear. On one side there is a four arched foliate crown in the 12 o'clock position above a central oval panel with cross hatched design. There is a legend traveling around the dis starting from the 2 0'clock, all that is legible reads "BLIO". The reverse appears to be undecorated. The disc appears to have been drilled from either side without meeting in the center. No parallels have been found for this object but the decoration and legend suggest a late post medieval to modern date.
