Description: | A very corroded copper-alloy coin weight for a ryal of later medieval date (15th century AD). It is broadly square and seemingly decorated unifacially. On its upper face it bears an image of a ship with a central shield probably carried by a king standing facing who is now unclear. This is all depicted within a beaded border and stamped at an angle. Withers & Withers (1995, 18-19) note that this device was used British weights for the ryal (or rose noble).
