Description: | A cast copper alloy circular unifaced coin weight for the quater noble, dating from the late 15th century AD. The weight is stamped on the face with a lis surmounted by a crown, with a rounded hole punched centrally between the two. The whole is within a double-ringed border. According to Withers & Withers (1995:34) the punched hole was produced when the flan was turned to make it the right size. English weights were made according to an Act of Parliament of AD 1421 and this type of weight was probably discontinued around AD 1471. The weight weighs 3.2gms or 0.11oz.
