Description: | Copper alloy circular uniface coin weight, possibly for a Ryal (or Rose Noble). Fifteenth century. diameter 16.5mm and 3.8mm thick. Weight 6.14g. The surfaces are worn and the edges are eroded. The moulded decoration is in the form of a single masted sailing vessel with standing rigging fore and aft. The "U"-shaped hull is decorated with raised curving lines to represent the "clinker" method of construction. There is a fore castle and an after castle. Above the hull is a shield and amidships on the hull is a rose motif. The weight has an even mid-green patina overall. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
