Description: | A small, flat, hexagonal object made from copper alloy, possibly a late medieval French coin weight. On one surface of the object, there is a raised motif comprising a crowned shield with three fleur-de-lis within. The other surface is plain. The object has a diameter of 12mm and weighs 0.9g. Fifteenth century French coin weights for the Ecu d'or bear a shield with three fleur-de-lis and are hexagonal in shape. The weight at 0.9g suggests that it represents 1/4 of an ecu, which weighed 3.5g. | 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: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
