Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy coin weight of uncertain denomination, date and attribution, possibly dating from AD 1580 due to the inscription on the reverse. Possibly a coin weight of Hans Foncq of Antwerp based upon similarities to PAS database record BH-CBC727. The obverse bears the image of a monarch, likely to be a queen or related female as the depiction is stylised, particularlyat the chest, which has a pair of circular swirls at the point of the breast. The figure is crowned, holds a royal orb in her left hand and a sword in her right. A beaded circular border surrounds the design. On the reverse is a raised hand flanked by the numbers 8/0 (divided by hand) with letters H/F or b below the numbers (also divided by the hand). This combination has not been identified in the usual references.
