Lead discoid with radially arranged runes, with silver stud on reverse, 3 cm diameter, Yorkshire.

Lead discoids like this could have been used both as weights and gaming pieces. See Hadley & Richards (2025), p 117. Their Fig. 2.17 shows a comparable discoid with silver stud from Aldwark, though lacking runes.
