Description: | A post medieval copper alloy bullion weight which is discoidal. It has a diameter of 19.9mm and is 2.5mm thick. It is marked with a crown over XII D [D in superscript] on the obverse signifying that it was used to weigh twelve pence or one shilling. The reverse is the same design but with the D replaced by an unintelligible mark, probably a maker??s mark. Weighing 5.24g, it is a little short of its intended weight of 6.02g. The weight probably dates from the late seventeenth century. For reference see ??Bullion Weights?? by Norman Biggs (1995), page 39 and 40. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
