Description: | A complete copper-alloy coin weight square in shape measuring 20mm by 20mm in size.
The obverse has a square topped shield within a foliate border.
The reverse has the Roman numerals XXXII across its centre with a crown above these, this is a standard reverse used fromcirca 1620 onwards; a crown surmounting the value of the relevant coin. This weight was for a Rose Ryal (33s) which would have weighed 13.82g originally, it now weighs 13.18g. The reverse also has an offical counterstamp in the top left hand corner it is a crowned I for James I. It is similar to an example illustrated in Biggs (1992, 28-29). | 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: | 1620
