Cast lead uniface token. Medieval or post-medieval. Mass: 21.2g, diameter: 38.3mm, thickness: 3.0 mm. Pitted grey/green surface. The front is decorated in relief with a six-foil and pellets within four concentric circles. In: "English Tokens, c.1200 to 1425", Mitchiner and Skinner (1983, p. 62) note that the six-foil design was the dominant series amongst London tokens from c.1350's -1430's. However, they add that the tokens have a fairly consistent diameter and thickness; around 14-15mm and around 1 to 1.5 g. The token recorded here is substantially larger, and may be mediev…

Copper-alloy French coin weight for an écu a la chaise of Philip VI (1328-50), the coin issued 1347-49. Diameter: 14.5mm, mass: 2.9mm. Paul Withers comments that: "The weight is most likely a near contemporary issue with the coin. It shows the king, wearing a crown, std on a throne, holding a sword in his right hand, and his left resting on a shield emblazoned with one, or more fleur(s) de lis." This is a crude example, and appears to have been filed. It has a heavily corroded green surface. Paul Withers adds: "The coin weighs around 4.5 gm, but the weights that one finds are normall…
