A heavily worn eroded and abraded copper alloy coin weight for a gold Angel of probable 17th century date (1600-1700). The coin weight is bi-faced and a square (or possibly lozenge) shape in plan.

The reverse face is heavily worn but probably had a value mark. Withers shows a series of Brass square weights which he suggests are struck in the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries (1995…
