Description: | A cast copper-alloy bullion weight of Post-Medieval date. It is circular in form, rectangular in section, and has marks of value on each face. These comprise the letters D/XXX and indicate the weight was used to weigh silver bullion of 30 pence or one halfcrown. It measures 23.92mm in diameter, 4.23mm in thickness, and 14.74g in weight. This is abullion weight for silver bullion to a value of one halfcrown (30 pence). It is identical to examples published by Biggs, which date to the 17th or 18th centuries and as late as 1816 AD with the introduction of the gold standar (Biggs, 1992: p. 21). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
