A post medieval copper coin weight dating 16th-17th century. The coin weight is rectangular in plan with chamfered edges. There is a punched decoration on both sides consisting of four annulets in a square formation with a rectangular stamped lion passant aligned with the bottom.
The weight is similar to an example in Egan (2005:162 no.833) but has four annulets instead of six. Egan's coin weight comes from a context dated by ceramic phasing to 1675 - 1700 AD. A parallel can be found on the PAS database: LON-67CCB2.
Dimensions: length: 16.54 mm; width: 14.93 mm; thickness: 3.33 mm; weight: 5.61g.
