Description: | A copper-alloy Quarter ryal coin weight from the 15th - 16th Century. Quarter ryal coin weights were struck from the same die as the ryal and the half ryal hence why a lot of image is missing. The obverse image depicts a king with a sword and a shield standing in a ship with a rose below him. This image is difficult to see on this quarter ryal because of the fact that so much of the imagine would have been too big for this type of weight. The reverse is blank. The coin weight is also quite worn and quite pitted, and as a result of this much of the original surface has been lost. The metal has a mid brownish-green patina. | 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: | 1400
