Watch List notes:

EARLY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC COINS AND WEIGHTS

Circa 5th-7th century. Weight of 1-nomisma (Brass, once inlaid, 16x2mm, 4.35 g), an octangular coin weight with plain edges (MAH C1), nomisma of 4.35 g. Cross between Α - ω; traces of uncertain inlay Rev. Plain. Cf. MAH 430 (possibly the same type as this piece, see note below). Dusty green patina. Very fine.

From the Eparch Collection.qqqqqqThe weight in the MAH is very similar, but is round rather than octangular and is rather lighter. However, that piece has cut edges and may well have been originally the same as our piece, but was then cut down to make an amulet.
