Description: | Square copper alloy coin weight. There are five annulets on each side, with a square above. The five annulets probably represent five penny-weights. The weight has a black patina.
The weight dates from before 1632, when square weights were banned by an Act of Parliament. | 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: | 1500
