Description: | A Medieval or Post Medieval complete copper alloy square coin weight. It measures 15.9mm by 15.9mm, is 3.44mm thick and weighs 6g. Both surfaces are inscribed with four punched rings and a crown. It is dark green in colour with patches of light green corrosion. No exact parallel could be found, however There is a similar coin weight on this database recorded as NARC-34AFC1. Square weights were banned by an Act of Parliament in 1632 (Bailey 'Finds Identified',p. 37) so this weight predates this Act.
