Description: | Cast copper alloy uniface coin weight depicting a crowned shield with three lis within the shield and one on either side of it. This is a weight for the French ecu, which were issued with minor weight variations from the reign of Charles VII (1422-61) to the ecu a la couronne neuf of Louis XI (1436-1475), but this example might have been made in Britain in the early 16th century when the ecu was current for four shillings c.1525 (Withers, 1995, P.39).
