Copper alloy counterstamped coin. The coin is highly corroded and no part of the original design is visible. It is counterstamped VIII with a small H or M above and the second and third II appear to be interupted by a circular counterstamp. It is probably a 8 maravedis of Felipe III (1598-1621) of Spain, but countermarked later under Felipe IV's reign (1621-1665) as an 8 maravedis 'resellado' which means 'resealed' or 'restruck'. The '8' or 'VIII' stamps refer to the denomination of the coin. They are often stamped several times with the value, crowns and other marks. The coin is sli…

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.

Copper alloy coin weight probably of James I (1603-1625) possibly Charles I (1625-1649), Crowned V with small s below on the reverse. The crowned V stands for 5 shillings and sugests it is for a quarter laurel or crown (minted 1619-1657). It measures 14mm in diameter is 1.7mm thick and weighs 1.7grams, 26.23 grains. A full weight quarter laurel was 35 grains but weights were made for the legal minimum weight of the coin which was slightly less and this weight has probably become lighter due to corrosion.
