Description: | A complete copper-alloy coin weight. This weight is square in shape and measures 16mm by 16mm in size. The obverse has a seated crowned King with a closed crown, holding an imperial orb in one hand and a sword in the other. The reverse has a hand within a boarder of laurel leaves with '80' and the letters 'HE' either side of the hand. This coin weight is most likely to be 16th century or early 17th century in date, as at this time there was a sudden upsurge in the use of square coin weights.
