Description: | A complete copper-alloy coin weight. This weight is square in shape and measures 16mm by 16mm in size, and is 3mm thick. One face of this weight has a facing seated crowned king holding a staff in one hand and an orb surmounted with a cross in the other. At his feet there is a five petalled flower. There is a circular boarder of pellets surrounding the King. On the other face there is a lion holding a raised sword in an uplifted claw and possibly a quiver of arrows in the other. The letters 'G I' can also be seen either side of the lion. This coin weight is likely to be early post-medieval in date. | Subjects: | coin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
