Description: | An incomplete, corroded and illegible Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy possible uniface coin weight, possibly for an angel dating between 1464 and 1619.The coin weight is circular in plan. It is in poor condition and a small portion is missing at the edge, possibly due to a casting imperfection.The condition of the coin weight makes the identification uncertain. However, considering its condition and discrepancy in weight, the size and weight of this coin weight may have been comparable with an angel of 80 grains or an angel of 71 grains dating between 1464 and 1619 (Withers and Withers 1995: 68).Diameter: 14.9mm; thickness: 3.3mm. Weight: 4.16g. (64.2 grains).Withers, P. & Withers, B. 1995. Identifying Coin-Weights Found in Britain Lions Ships and Angels. Galata Press.
