Description: | A complete copper-alloy coin weight, measuring 17.25mm in diameter and 4.33g in weight. One face of this weight has a crowned 'XI' with a smaller 's' below this. The other face is more worn but appears to depict St George slaying a dragon. There is a boarder legend on this face which reads,'[ ]IR MAG BRIT.' After 1632, when Charles I banned square weights a new official issue of round brass weights was made in large numbers, this example is likely to date to this period (Biggs 1993, 30).
