Description: | A lead alloy circular probably weight, probably dating from the Medieval or Post Medieval period. One face is decorated with raised cast moulding. There is a three pronged object in the centre, perhaps a crude fleur or a trident. The design is flanked by a large, reversed letter S on each side. The sides are burred over, probably a poorly trimmed casting seam, and the reverse is plain. The weight has a well developed cream patina. It is 52.4mm diameter, 7.3mm thick, 82.36g. Tis may have been intended to be a 3oz weight. The design is similar to that found on some Medieval tokens, but a close parallel has not yet been found.
