Description: | Heavily corroded copper-alloy coin weight of probable post Medieval date, c.1500-1700. The weight is flat and sub-square with an illegible design set within a circle on both faces. The present weight of this item is 11.8g which roughly corresponds to 182 grains. Assuming that the corrosion process has made this item lighter then the potential coin weight to coin comparison for this post Medieval period include a Sovereign of Henry VIII (182 grains) or a Rose Ryal of James I (196 grains in the 3rd coinage).
