Description: | Sub-square coin weight (corners not right angles) struck on one face with a ship. The details are hard to see and I am not certain if the ship is empty or has a standing figure with shield. The ship is the right way up when the weight is held with one corner downwards. The weight is an odd colour - it appears to have retained its original bronze/gold colour without corrosion. It weighs 3.22 g, or 49.7 grains; it may have been to weigh a half-noble (60 grains 1351-1412, 54 grains 1412-64) or half-ryal (60 grains) and may date from 1351 to the 17th century. The later weights are made in Germany. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1351
