Description: | Cast lead or lead alloy bi-faced weight of probable later medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700). The weight is circular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section, being of varying thickness. The front face of the weight depicts a crowned shield, a square shaped shield with a bi-foliate crown above. The arms on the shield are indistinct due to wear. The reverse face of the weight depicts an image which is distorted due to abrasion. This image may be of a ship with a central mast but not enough survives to confirm it. The weight is a mid cream grey colour with an even patina which covers all surfaces. The edges (and faces) of the weight have been abraded causing it to become asymmetrical in plan. The weight measures 7.9mm in diameter, and is 4.5mm thick. It weighs 8.5 grams (0.3 ozs or 131.4 grains). | Subjects: | Coin Weight | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
