Description: | Copper alloy (round) uniface coin weight for a gold Angel dated to the later medieval and post medieval periods post 1464 (1464 - 1642). The weight itself has been abrdaed in the plough soil and much of both the obverse and reverse has been lost. A light green powdery corrosion is present on both surfaces. It measures 15.7mm diameter, is 3.2mm thick, and weighs 3.82 grams (58.8 grains). Gold Angel's usually weighed 80 grains (1464-1604), 71 grains (1604-1619)or 65 grains (1619-1642). It seems most likely that this weight was produced post 1604, however the amount of metal lost cannot be accurately measured.
