CPAI III/1: Semi-discoid with raised edge and loop; lower half is missing; worn and corroded. On the obverse, cauldron and obscure letters within a wreath in relief. The reverse is blank. The missing half would bring the mass over 400 g thus it might be a mna in its original mass. The bottom edge is so smooth that one may think that this weight was not half broken off but it was made semi-circular originally or cut half intentionally. According to its actual mass, it may be a hemimnaion (mna of 453.9 g). Although this piece may have been served as a weight it seems that it was not produced as a weight originally.
