Description: | A post medieval copper alloy bullion weight which is discoidal. It has a diameter of 23.3mm and is 4.7mm thick. It is marked D / XXX on the obverse signifying that it was used to weigh thirty pence or one half crown. On the reverse are the maker's or seller's initials: I S. Weighing 14.45g, it is a little short of its intended weight of 15.05g. The weight dates from the late seventeenth century. For reference see "Bullion Weights" by Norman Biggs (1995), page 39 and 40.
