Description: | A cast copper-alloy uniface coin weight of Medieval date. It is circular in form and struck off-centre with a die on one face. This depicts a ship with a tall central mast within an inner circle of pellets, the ship depicted with a lis above one end and a lion above the other. The entire object measures 18.23mm in diameter and 6.71g (103.6 grains) in weight. This is a British coin weight for a later Medieval noble, which at full weight should weigh 108 grains (Withers and Withers, 1995: pp. 68). It is of 15th-16th century AD date.
