This is a brass weight from the Qing Dynasty, featuring a concentric circular disk design with a central perforation. It weighs approximately 321 grams. The exact production date of this weight remains uncertain, but the presence of two Manchu characters on its obverse suggests it dates to the Qing period. It was likely intended specifically for use by “Banner People” (Manchus) rather than Han Chinese.

If it had been designed for the Han population, it would typically include both Manchu script (as the official language) and Chinese characters to facilitate broader circulation and usage. Additionally, the obverse of the weight bears a marking resembling the Arabic numeral “0.”

這是一枚清代的黃銅砝碼，外觀為中央鏤空的同心圓盤造型，其重量落在321公克左右。這一枚砝碼的具體年份不明，但是憑藉正面出現兩個滿文，大致能判斷是落在清代，並且應該是專門為「旗人」而非漢人打造。若是為漢人打造的器具，除了作為國語的滿文之外，應該還會鐫刻漢字方便流通和使用。同樣在砝碼正面還有一個疑似阿拉伯數字「0」的戳記。
