CPAI III/1: Square (truncated pyramidal) in form with raised and bevelled edges and tab; small part on the bottom edge broken away; worn and corroded. On the obverse, Λ in relief which may refer to 30 and may stand for 30 obolus (0.42 g x 30). Or Λ may stand for semis (=half); then it may be a half-uncia (uncia of 25.2 g). But there is no logical explanation that the Λ denotes to half ; but the masses of this weight and the preceding ones (CPAI III/1, nos. 593–602) corresponds to an half-uncia, whatever the Λ stands for, the weights should have served as an half-uncia. The reverse is blank.
