Description: | A flat and square copper alloy coin weight. Much of the detail has been removed though wear and corrosion. The reverse of the weight appears to have the letters II // S (on two lines) and depicts a crowned capital letter I. These markings indicate that this weight dates from the reign of James I (AD 1612-19). It was used to weigh Unites of James?? revalued 2nd coinage. The surface of the weight is pitted and is a dark brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
