Description: | A much worn and abraded copper alloy coin weight of very late medieval or post medieval date (1464-1600). The coin weight is uni-faced and was probably used to weigh a gold Half Angel.The design on the front face of the weight is very worn but a standing winged figure can just be observed. If the design was not worn it would represent St Michael spearing a dragon. To the lower right quarter is a small square shaped punch or counter mark (possibly I or II).It measures: 12.1mm length, 11.9mm width, is 2.3mm thick and weighs 2.19 grams (0.08 ozs or 33.6 grains).
