Description: | Copper alloyCoin weight (finder's identification). A cast flat rectangular weight with two lightly bevelled sides. A faint impression of a stamped design remains on one flat surface; this comprises a bar with alternating paired pellets and triangles above an uncertain device - perhaps armorial - alongside a shield in a cartouche resembling the Reichsapfel as appears on Nuremburg jettons. The weight may be for checking a two pence or halfgroat coin - it is just over the weight of a square lead object for which this interpretation is advanced (Biggs and Withers 2000, no. 152, which weighs 2.35gms). Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650.Length: 13.73mm, Width: 13.71mm, Thickness: 1.74mm, Weight: 2.43gms.
