Description: | Post medeival cast copper alloy double-sided coin weight. Produced by the Antwerp manufacturer Reynier van Ettersom, known to have been active in 1575, the coin weight was made in the reign of Elizabeth I for the crown of 48 grains (3.1g) issued during the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI, 1545-9 (Withers, 1995: 35). It is square in form, trapezoidal in section and carries stamped marks on both faces. The obverse side shows a rose surmounted by a crown with the letter C to the right and probably an E to the left. The reverse shows the initials RVE, for Reynier van Ettersom, above a hand which is the mark for Antwerp. The coin weight measures 14.15x13.95x2.24mm and weighs 3.1g.
