Description: | Cast copper alloy uniface coin weight for a half ecu au soleil (issued 1475-1654) of France. The wieght is circular and flat with a raised raised design of a sun in a shield on one side. Withers and Withers (1995, p.39) suggest this design was used on the weights produced in England where the half ecu was current in 1525 for 2 shillings.
It is 10.6mm in diameter, 2.5mm thick and weighs 1.54 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
