Brass wax-seal stamp, 1800s, balance-scale design (reminiscent of Mexican coins of the late 1800s). 26.1 grams, 3" long. At first this appears to be a die-punch, but the design of a balance scale with crossed sword and baton does not match any coins we know of, and the post is too thin to be hammerable, so we conclude instead that it is a wax seal for some governmental department in Panama, where it was found, well detailed and in perfect condition.
