Unstruck lead planchetPb planchet, unstruck
4.81 gm
13.92 mm (16.76 across casting sprues)
This unstruck lead planchet is possibly of the Hasmonean time period based on size and weight, although it is not possible to attribute it to any specific coinage issuer with absolute certainty. The center dot from the casting mould is prominent on the "obverse", and the "reverse" is completely smooth and blank.cmcdon0923
