Description: | A cast lead alloy, uniface copy of a Roman coin, probably dating from AD43-260 and perhaps intended to mimic an As or Dupondius. The upper side carries a bust of an unidentified emperor. A small section of the flan is missing from behind the emperor's head. It is 24.1mm in diameter and 3.9mm thick. It weighs 10.46gm.Lead alloy copies of Roman coins are known from votive sites such as the River Tees at Piercebridge. It is possible that this copy has a religious function. Compare SWYOR-3AF804.
