Copper alloy (round) uniface coin weight for a gold Half Angel dated to the later medieval and post medieval periods post 1464 (1464 - 1642). The weight itself has been abraded in the plough soil and some of the obverse detail has been lost. This abrasion has also removed the metal from the coin weight causing it to weigh less than it originally did. The front face of the weight depicts the standing winged figure (St. Michael) with left leg straight and right leg bent, holding spear and spearing dragon (beneath figure) to the right hand side. St Michael is shown with a halo and spre…

Copper alloy square shaped coin weight dated to the post medieval period 1564-1604. The coin weight is one of a number known from Antwerp (hence the use of the hand on the reverse). The initials around the hand are indistinct but it is likely to be either Cornelius Janssen (CI) or Cornelius VerPoorte (CVP). In my opinion it is likely to be the former (CI). Both are recorded to the period 1564-1604. (Withers p60). Obverse: Standing female figure (probably a saint or maid) with an orb in left hand and crozier (crook) in left. Figure is enclosed within a circle of pellets. Reverse: Cent…
