Description: | A copper-alloy ryal coin weight from the 15th - 16th Century. Ryal coin weights were struck from the same die as the quarter ryal and the half ryal. The obverse image depicts a king with a sword and a shield standing in a ship with a rose below him. The reverse is blank. The coin weight is also worn and quite pitted, and as a result of this much of the original surface has been lost. The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina.
