Description: | Copper alloyCoin Weight. Cast square weight with stamped motif, probably representing the Archangel Michael vanquishing a serpent, and therefore for checking the weight of a gold half angel coin. An heraldic shield motif may appear on the reverse, set diagonally. The object is heavily worn and has been robustly cleaned, so it is not possible to determine whether the angel is feathered or armoured. Suggested date: possibly Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1470-1625.Length: 15.2mm, Width: 14.9mm, Thickness: 1.7mm, Weight: 2.66gms.
