Description: | A copper-alloy uniface coin weight for the gold Quarter ryal, which was issued between 1464 and 1470, during the first reign of Edward IV. The weight is crudely made and truncated-oval in plan. The upper surface bears the raised image of a galley with a rose at the centre of the hull and the king standing on deck, holding a spear and shield. As the same die was used for both the ryal and its fractions (Withers and Withers 1995: 19), it is unsurprising that much of the detail is absent from the image.Length: 11.6mm; width: 11.3mm; thickness: 2.3mm. Weight: 1.56g.
