Description: | Copper-alloy, square shaped coin weight. The weight is 14 mm long by 14 mm wide and 4 mm thick. It is inscribed on both sides with crude punched rings arranged in a rough circle. It weighs 5.9g (quarter of an Ounce). Square weights were banned by an Act of Parliament in 1632 (Bailey 2000, 37) so this weight presumbably dates to before then. | 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: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
