Description: | Copper alloy weight or possible gaming counter of uncertain date. The object is a disc, broadly circular in plan with four circular punch marks forming a square on each face. It has a dark green and even patination. It measures 15.5mm in diameter, 3.6mm in thickness and weighs 4.68g.The object is similar in appearance to coin and trade weights of the Post Medieval period, however the irregularity of the shape and the design do not correlate to these types of objects. It is possible therefore that the object was used as a gaming chip or counter.
