Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy uniface coin weight of Post-Medieval date. It is square in form, rectangular in section and with bevelled edges. One face is stamped with a fleur-de-lis, the opposte face has no marks but shows signs of post-depositional wear and damage. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 14.97mm in length, 14.46mm in width, 2.31mm in thickness, and weighs 2.78g.This is a copper-alloy coin weight for Post-Medieval florin coinages. Its square form and uniface marks suggests it may have been produced in the Low Countries and probably in the 16th-17th centuries AD (see Withers and Withers, 1995: pp. 9, 33).
