Description: | A square copper alloy coin weight, probably for a Hungarian dukat and dating from the 16th or 17th century. It has a length of 14.10mm, width 14.08mm, thickness 2.09mm, weight 3.04g. It is uniface and probably depicts St Ladislaus with an orb and a long axe. The coin should weigh 3.5g, but corrosion and wear could have reduced the mass of the coin weight. For reference see P & B Withers1995. Lions, Ships and Angels p. 23.
