Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy coin weight of Medieval date. It is square and uniface and rectangular in section. The face depicts a lion seated left within a double square border. The weight could be for one of several coins: Philip the Good of Burgundy (1419-1467) struck a lion which weighed 4.25g and its fractions (2/3rds: 2.83g, 1/3rd: 1.41g) between 1454-1460. In 1583-1584 the Flanders lion was struck along with its half, which weighed 4.14g. These all have arches above the lion rather than square borders but this based on image and weight the 2/3rds Lion seems the most appropriate option…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of cast copper-alloy metal working debris. It is rectangular in form, D-shaped in section and terminates at both ends in old breaks.
