A complete cast copper-alloy circular uniface coin weight for an Angel (c. 1604-c. 1619). The weight depicts St Michael with angel wings spearing a dragon at his feet. It is of a British type produced between 1464 and 1619. The weight at 68.2 grains (4.41g. is low for an Angel (80 grains, reduced to 71 grains in 1604) but too high for a half Angel (40 grains reduced to 35.5 grains). Weights were usually made for the minimum legal weight of the coin rather than the average and also lose some weight through corrosion over the course of time. The weight is very worn and slightly cor…

Post medieval cast copper alloy square weight from a German Goldgulden, a denomination in use from 1340-1806 AD. The weight was made by a known but as yet unnamed Antwerp maker in the 16th-17th century. It has an imperial orb on one side and the Hand of Antwerp with the makers initials on the other. It is 14.9 by 15.3mm and 1.8mm thick, it weighs 2.55 grams; as is typical with coin weights this is less than the full weight of this coin, 3.5g and 3.25g from 1559, due to corrosion and a tendancy to tariff weights to the lowest legal weight of the coin.
