Description: | Lead weight. Thin disc probably cut from cast sheet with a central punched hole of diameter 1.9mm. Patinated overall and now bent to a wavy profile. The mass may suggest this to represent six units of 4.07gms as were used in Viking Age Scandinavia for transactions of silver bullion, and is also roughly equivalent to one ore/ora, the ounce measure in that system. Reported from the same find spot as another discoid weight of about the same mass (NLM-83CCD8). Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1000.Diameter: 38.1mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 24.07gms.
