Copper alloy posible coin weight. Cast discoid weight. Each side is stamped: 6:9, which appears as the second-lowest value in sets of weights to measure Portuguese and English gold coins, these being unusually closely dated to the period 1760-1773. However, similar notation might be added by other professionals using blank weights they had bought for their own uses, and such weights ‘are very common indeed’ (Withers and Withers 2011, page 63). Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1760-1800 Diameter: 13.2mm, Thickness: 2.5mm, Weight: 2.37gms
