George 1V bronze weight with lead filled centre, 1820-30.
1.460"x .293"x 19.5 Oz.
Stamped G.1V under crown also the word IMPERIAL.
Counterstamped with a large billhook and a horseshoe over a capital R or H?
20oz was the weight of a pint also the weight of £5 in silver coin, the fact this is 1/2 oz light may be the reason for the counterstamps?

Roman bronze ring possibly child size?
You can clearly see the tool and chisel marks used to create the design.

This card could come from either Series 1 (1931) or Series 2 (1932) called 'Arms of the British Empire', 25 cards in each set, and individual cards valued at £1.80, the set(s) at £45.00.
That being said there was indeed a set of card issued in 1910 (a total of 50 cards in the set) with the same title; however these cards are valued individually at £0.80 or £40 for the full set in fine condition.
I hope this helps?

Thanks for that, the artwork is more 1910 than 1930s the value is of no consequence.
