Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete unidentified copper-alloy object of unknown date.
The object is flat and circular. One face has a central rectangular raised longitudinal rib which is bent at right angles to form a possible lip or hinge. The rib is decorated with incised cross-hatching. The other face has four peripheral circular punch marks along one outer edge and five along the other. These do not quite pierce the object, which results in the raised circles being visible on the opposite face.
This unidentified object measures 21.27mm in diameter, 6.69mm in thickness, 5.76g in weight.
