Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval coin weight dating from about AD 1760 - 1813. It is for a half guinea, but is extremely worn. It is circular (though bent) and the design is the letter and numerals: "S D / 10 6" (10 shillings and 6 pence) in Roman, serifed style. The design only survives on one face, though was probably originally on both. Almost all the original surface is missing. The weight has a mass of 2.51g, or 38.9 grains, but should be 61 and three quarter grains. See page 52 - 54 of Lions, Ships and Angels. 16.3mm diameter, 2.4mm thick.
