Balance weights for measurement or were they trading in copper?

Good question, there's nothing I saw (maybe I missed it) about the weight or width of the disks, but my best guess is, trading in copper.

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin: often used for armor and weapons which is why they call it the “Bronze Age”.
