Byzantine Weights. Weight of 10 Nomismata (?) (Lead, 25x26 mm, 41.96 g), a square coin (?) weight with plain edges. Central cross ending in stars within circular incuse with eight rayes, four of which end in square punches containing crosses. Rev. Two cruciform incuse punches with circular punches containing crosses in agles; to lower left and upper right, two crosses formed our of round punches. Bendall -. MAH -. Pera -. An interesting and highly unusual piece. Good very fine.

Dating this interesting weight is rather difficult: it could be late Medieval, but it does look older and the weight corresponds to 10 Nomismata, suggesting that it is of Byzantine origin
