A sub circular silvered copper alloy object, of possible Roman dating (1 to 410 AD).
It is sub circular in plan, and D shaped in section. The top surface is smooth and domed, with a couple of uneven projections. The lower surface is flat.
It measures 20.45mm in length, 21.34mm wide and 6.27mm thick. It weighs 13.1grams.
The object could be a piece of casting waste, but there are traces of silvering on a couple of areas on both surfaces. The patina is similar to that found on early Roman coins, but this object is too thick to be a coin.

Both the upper and lower ends exhibit an old break in the metal, with abraded edges. The lower end is sub oval in section, and resembles a flattened trumpet end. The upper end is sub circular in section,…
