An extremely worn and corroded possible copper-alloy coin weight of medieval or post-medieval date. It is circular and seemingly decorated unifacially, although both surfaces are highly corroded. The upper face appears to depicts a ship. It has a rounded circumference. The design and size of this coin weight are consistent with it relating to a noble, if anything. Withers & Withers (1995, 18-19) illustrate these 15th- and 16th-century coin weights.
