Title
7008D4, Brass inscription reused as a weight
Description
English: Disc bearing on its face three concentric rings with a central dot. Stamped across the two outer rings is a crown over a black letter M. The reverse is rough but bears three letters in black letter script perhaps reading H I R. These letters are 10.7mm high but the extended leg of one letter give a height of 14.4mm. This disc may represent the re-use of part of a memorial brass as a trade weight.
