Description: | A Post Medieval leaded copper alloy coin weight, 16th - 17th century. The coin weight is rectangular in plan and has been cut from a sheet of copper alloy. It has punched decoration that is identical on each side. This consists of four punched annulets arranged in a square and aligned to the right-hand side of the weight. At the left side of the weight the mark of a lion passant, facing left, has been punched in towards the centre of the vertical axis. The sides of the weight have been neatly finished, and have file marks. The weight is similar to an example in Egan (2005), p. 162 ref.833, but has four annulets instead of six, and is considerably heavier. Egan's coin weight comes from a context dated by ceramic phasing to 1675 - 1700 AD.Dimensions: length: 13.53mm; width: 14.75mm; thickness: 4.14mm; weight: 6.11g.Reference: Egan, G. 2005.
