WEIGHTS, Byzantine. Weight (Bronze, 18 mm, 4.12 g, 7 h), circa 10th century. +ΠA / ΛAION O/ΛOTPA/KON in five lines. Rev. ЄΛA/ΦPON in two lines. Bendall 19. Rare. Earthen deposits, otherwise, very fine.
The legend does not state what coin this weight is for, just that it is for an 'old, unaltered (or unclipped) light-weight coin'. It might be a weight for histamena.
