Description: | A complete worn and corroded square double-sided coin weight for a James I, Third Coinage angel, issued AD 1619-25 (Withers and Withers 1995, 14 and 68, ref. i). The weight for an angel during this period was 65.0 grains. This Isle of Wight find weighs 3.24g. (49.8 grains). The difference in weight can probably be accounted for by the loss of metal due to wear and corrosion. The edges are particularly corroded.
