The sides are straight and angled outwards (giving the weight an external depth of 9.6mm and an internal depth of 6.5mm-7.8mm). The base is circular (of 21mm diameter) and there is no applied decoration on either the base or sides. The surface has a grey-brown corrosion. The weight weighs 19.5g, which is equivalent to 0.688 ounces. The weight broadly corresponds to two-thirds of an ounce in the medieval and post medieval weight systems.
