Description: | Copper alloy possible Weight. Flat square weight with a possible trace of a stamped design on one side. The finder kindly suggests this may be a coin weight, though for what denomination is uncertain. The mass would admit this representing one half pennyweight under the Tower system (of c.1150-1350), though this would imply that the weight has been maintained despite the appearance of heavy wear. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1150-1350.Length: 8.7mm, Width: 9mm, Thickness: 1.9mm, Weight: 0.80gms.
