Description: | A copper alloy five shilling coin weight for the reign of Charles I (1625-1649). The weight is square, flat and decorated on both sides. One side depicts the bust of Charles I left, with an inscription surrounding, reading CAROLVS REX, all within a beaded border. The other side depicts a crown over V S (for five shillings), with a lys to either side, all set within a beaded circle. A small counterstamp is visible in the bottom right hand corner, perhaps containing the letters CA.
