Description: | A complete post medieval copper alloy square double-sided coin weight issued at Antwerp dating AD1500-1600. The coin weight was made in Antwerp by a maker whose work is recorded but whose name is not known. This coin weight is irregularly bent so the reverse is now concave with the four corners pointed upwards and the obverse is convex. It is uncertain if this is a deliberate alteration or occurred post deposition.Obverse: A ship within a circular border, with a letter 'h' (for 'Henricus') located to the left of the mast.Reverse: Human right hand upright with palm facing, L to the left M to to the right all within a beaded circleA similar coin weight is recorded on the PAS database - SUR-87A415 with the initials LM but that coin weight is heavier than this example.Dimensions: weight: 1.36g.
