Description: | A copper alloy circular unifaced coin weight for the quarter noble. The weight dates from the late 15th century AD. One face of the weight is stamped with a lis surmounted by a crown, with a rounded hole punched centrally between the two, all within a double-ringed border. English weights were made according to an Act of Parliament of AD 1421; this type of weight was probably discontinued around AD 1471. The weight weighs 3.11gms or 0.11oz.
