COIN WEIGHT

Unique ID: GLO-408F83

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Post-Medieval copper alloy coin weight for a spur ryal of James I. The weight is roughly square in shape. The upper face has a design of a rayed sun or spur with ever other ray ending in either a crowned lion or a crowned fleur-de-lis, alternating, within a double pellet line border. The reverse has the raised figures 'X.V.s' below a crown within a plain line border.

Weights bearing the sun symbol are for the spur ryal (or rose noble) of James I (Withers 1995, p.38). Those bearing the value XVs are for his 2nd coinage; 1604-12 and 3rd coinage; 1619-25 (ibid.).
