Description: | Cast copper alloy square coin weight depicting the upright hand of Antwerp, on the reverse, and the initials B B, signifying the maker Bernaert Bommaerts, c.AD 1610-1650, (Withers, 1995, p.60). Antwerp was "an important economic centre for several centuries and the hub of coin-weight manufacture in the Southern Netherlands, where more than 70 makers are known to have made weights over a three-century period" starting in the early 16th century (Withers, 1995, p.10).Withers (1995) illustrates a similar example on page 10.
