A square, copper alloy coin weight of postmedieval date. The weight is stamped with a left-facing, bearded and laureate Roman-type bust within a circular border on the obverse; the reverse bears the Roman numerals 'XX', surmounted by a crown. It is thus clear that the weight is for 20 shillings, and it is known as a'laurel'. Coin weights of this type date to the late 16th and early 17th century. Most can be dated to between AD 1620 and 1632. L/W 17mm Th 3.9mm Mass 8.1g

An incomplete copper alloy coin of Philip IV of Spain (1621-65), revalidated to 8 maravedis. Probably issued 1624, although not certain as the date is situated to the right side of the shield on the reverse which is illegible due to corrosion. A similar, though smaller type was issued in 1625 and 1626. In the 1630s – 1650s period these coins were countermarked to revalidate them. The countermark usually consisted of a figure 8, or VIII in a small circle and sometimes a second mark, which gave the date. This coin has a letter B below the VIII, which would seem to indicate that …

A coin of Louis XIV of France. Edward Besly of the National Museum and Gallery of Wales has identified this coin as follows. Louis XIV's coinage suffered a succession of remintings in this period, known as 'réformations' and most of the time, ratther than melting down the coins, they struck the new ones directly on the old. This is therefore a réformation: A 1691 'Quadruple sol aux deux Ls', which has been overstruck c.1702-4 to become a a 'cinq sols aux insignes'. The date of the earlier coin is under the King's bust, which is upside-down in relation to the new design. On th…

German silver religious medallion, made for protection against plague (Pesttaler). It has verses from Numbers and St John on each side. It would have had an attachment loop at the top which has now broken off. The devices are Old- and equated New-Tesament types.
