Description: | Copper alloy circular uniface coin weight for a half noble. Fifteenth to sixteenth century. Diameter 14.5mm and 2mm thick. Weight 2.86g. The moulded decoration is in the form of a single masted sailing vessel. The mast of the vessel is supported by standing rigging, a main brace fore and aft. At the masthead is pennant flying right. The hull is semi circular in shape and is sub-divided with vertical and horizontal lines to represent the "clinker" method of construction. There is an after castle and a fore castle. The weight has an even mid-green patina overall.
