A complete struck copper alloy post medieval coin weight, dating to the period AD1500-1700. It is rectangular in shape, with a brown patina and is slightly worn around the edges. The surface itself is quite worn and therefore it is impossible to identify the images depicted on both the reverse and the obverse.
The coin weight measures 12.58mm in length, 1.86mm in thickness, 11.7mm in width and weighs 15.66g.
Parallels include YORYM-336254 on the database and similar examples exist in Withers and Withers (1995) e.g. p.22.
