Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy coin weight. The weight is circular, uniface, and was used as a weight for the Ryal or rose noble (a gold denomination). The front face of the weight is stamped with a ship with a rose on the hull (indicating that this is for the Ryal), with the king standing holding a shield. The image is similar to that which appears on the actual coin. Such weights were used to check that coins offered in payment or for exchange were the proper weight.
