Description: | A square copper alloy apothecary weight probably of early post medieval date.The coin weight is square in plan with sides 13.6 mm in length. It is 2.91 mm thick and weighs 3.5 g. The design is the same on both sides; an eight petal flower and a crude inscription, possibly of the letters O and S.A similar example can be seen SUSS-6FBF61 and a nearly identical example was found at the site of Bennett's Point, Queen Anne's County, Maryland and it has been suggested that this one was used to weigh out a drachm.
