Post medieval silver penny of Charles I (1625-1649). The coin is much damaged and eroded, so that the obverse face is almost entirely illegible. There is a faint suggestion of a surviving bust, facing left, but only the crown and possibly the profile is visible.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete and slightly corroded Medieval copper-alloy circular uniface coin weight for a Noble (1412-1464). One side has a raised design of a single masted clinker built ship (cog) left, with a lis above the fore castle and a lion passant guardant above the after castle. The design indicates it is for the noble or its fractions, Withers and Withers (1995:19) describe such weights as British and dates them to the 15th or 16th centuries. Due to its size and loss of material, the weight suggests it may have been for a full noble of the 15th-century, produced at 108 grains f…
