Description: | An unidentified lead object probably dating to the Roman period.The object is sub-circular in plan and conical. On the flattened side there is raised decoration and this appears to be inspired by Roman coins. There is a draped and laureate/diademed bust right and some letters around the bust. Much of the legend is unclear however some letters are legible and read N O... This object is unlikely to be a coin mould as it would create coins with the bust and lettering in relief.There are similar objects recorded on the PAS database including DUR-35A377. They appear similar to coins however the impressions are not in relief so this is unlikely.
