Cast copper alloy square coin weight of unknown ruler but probably dating to the post medieval period. This square coin weight has been badly abraded and the detail is indistinct on both faces. It is most likely to be a weight of James I (as I think one face has a thistle on it). The coin weight measures 11.2mm x 11.2mm x 5.3mm and weighs 3.64 grams (56.6 grains or 0.13 ozs).

A flat and square copper alloy coin weight. Much of the detail is still clear. On the obverse there is a crown with the letter C surmounted by a crown to the left of it. Underneath, the numerals XXII, and below these the letter S. The reverse is very worn but you can make out what might have been a bust of the King. These markings indicate that this weight dates from the reign of James I (AD 1612-19). It was used to weigh Unites of James’ revalued 2nd coinage. The surface of the weight is pitted and is a dark brownish-green colour.
