Description: | An extremely worn and corroded probable copper-alloy coin weight of medieval or post-medieval date. It is circular and seemingly decorated unifacially, although the reverse is highly corroded. The upper face seems to depict a ship, albeit crudely. The design and size of this coin weight are consistent with it relating to a noble. Withers & Withers (1995, 18-19) illustrate these 15th- and 16th-century coin weights.
