Description: | A complete cast copper alloy coin weight for a quarter guinea of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1760-1773). Diameter: 14.07mm and 1.62mm thick. Weight: 1.76g. This double-sided coin weight has a similar design on both sides: S/5 P/3 representing 5 shillings and 3 pence. Around 1760 to 1773 many British makers especially in Birmingham made sets of weights including the guinea, half and quarter guinea series. These sets consisted of up to eleven weights (Biggs 1992, 34-5). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
