Description: | Medieval copper alloy coin weight for a noble. Circular weight with raised line border and stamped fleur de lis and crown. According to Withers and Withers (1995:34) this is an example of a group of "English weights made according to an Act of Parliament of 1421. Several punches for the crown and lis are known. The small hole in the centre of the weight is the mark made when the flan was turned to the correct size. Weights of this type probably ceased being made ca.1471" | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
