Description: | A flat and square copper alloy coin weight. Much of the detail is still clear. On the obverse there is a crown with the letter C surmounted by a crown to the left of it. Underneath, the numerals XXII, and below these the letter S. The reverse is very worn but you can make out what might have been a bust of the King. 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: | Faux, Hannah - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
