This discus like weight appears to have been designed to be used suspended, possibly as a counterweight to grain bushels or wool bales. It has two official crown marks, the earlier appears to be for James I. These marks are on one side, along with the two holes that were cast into it. The reverse side is also domed, and the funnel shaped cavity's smaller hole is central. Dates to between 1603 and 1901 AD.The thickness is 26mm, diameter is 114mm.
