RIC 47d. Edge serrated. Earthen deposits, otherwise, about very fine.

From the collection of Dr. L. Ramskold, formed since 1969.

The purpose of such serrated pieces is debated, however, their use as weights for solidi and semisses among the numerous evidently weight-standardized pieces of around 4 and 2 grams, respectively, is very likely.
