Description: | An incomplete quarter angel (two shillings and six pence) coin weight issued during the reign of of Elizabeth I. The coin weight is rectangular (10.2mm by 9.2mm by 1.6mm) and appears to have been deliberately clipped. Its current weight is 0.88g but it would originally have weighed 1.3g. On the obverse there is a faint crown above 'IIs', Below this, VId is too worn to make out. On the reverse there is an angel. The quarter angel denomination was issued between 1554 and 1601, so this weight must date from between 1558 (the start of the reign of Elizabeth I) and 1601 (Withers and Withers 1995, p. 68).
