Description: | Lead and copper alloy weight. Cast discoid weight with bevelled edges and the stubs of a drawn copper alloy wire projecting from either side, possibly where two components have been deliberately pressed together with some force. The moulded device of a cushion crown appears on the narrower flat face, above a possible fragmentary legend of which the letter R is the first and only discernible character. Although the crown motif may suggest some pretension to official status, it is uncertain what system of weights and measures this object may observe. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1660-1800.Diameter: 20.6mm, Thickness: 5.9mm, Weight: 16.94gms.
