Lead weight with coin of Ethelred I. Viking, 9th CE. From Wareham, Dorset, England. Large numbers of lead weights have survived from the Viking Age in Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia. These were used to weigh out silver, both for trade and probably also for the division of plunder. The coin dates from the very end of Ethelred's reign, and was probably fastened to the weight not long after. The weight was found near Wareham in Dorset. H. 1.7 cm; diam. 2.8 cm. Weight: 99.97 grams.
