Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy1 ounce disc weight, weighing 26.92g (0.95 ounces). The coin weight is circular in plan with two flat faces. One face has been stamped 'X X' at the centre. To the left of this, is another stamp; possibly an 'R'; or perhaps a JR intertwined. The XX may stand for the number 20; and the initial R may represent 'Rex'; possibly the initial is for James I (AD 1603- 1625) or James II (AD 1685 - 1688); however this is not confirmed and the initial may stand for the issuer, or owner of the weight or similar. Below the initials is another unclear stamp which may possibly represent a lion rampant, or a similar official symbol.
