Cast copper-alloy circular uniface coin weight of late Medieval to early Post Medieval date. On one side is a raised design of a ship, with lis and lion above the bow and stern. It is 17.7mm in diameter, 3.5mm thick, 6.55 grams in weight, 101.1 grains. The design indicates it is for the noble or its fractions, Withers annd Withers (1995:19) descibe such weights as British and dates them to the 15th or 16th centuries. The weight suggests it was for a full noble of the 15th-century (produced at 108 grains from 1412 to 1464) rather than the noble it succeded (120 grains) (ibid.).

Representational weights date to the second half of the 15th century, around the time of the second reign of Edward IV.

Medieval copper alloy coin weight for a noble. Circular weight with raised line border and stamped fleur de lis and crown. According to Withers and Withers (1995:34) this is an example of a group of "English weights made according to an Act of Parliament of 1421. Several punches for the crown and lis are known. The small hole in the centre of the weight is the mark made when the flan was turned to the correct size. Weights of this type probably ceased being made ca.1471"

A circular copper alloy coin weight for a noble coin. The weight is of the circular and flat British type, with a design on one side only. The design is of a ship. The ship's body is indicated by 4 curved lines. It is possible that the weight was double sided although the reverse is very worn and no markings are visible. The double-sided types were made in Belgium in the 15th and 16th centuries. This coin weight is for a noble, weighing 5.87g. As such it is below the full legal weight of the light noble (108 grains). Coin weights were usually made to the minimum legal weight however a…

A flat and circular unifaced copper alloy coin weight. These weights are British and date from the 15th - 16th centuries. It is 16.9mm in diameter and 3.8mm thick. It weighs 6.17gms (95.1 grains). The design is of a ship with a lis to the right and a lion to the left. This suggests it is for a noble or it's fractions but the weight is very light for this use (nobles of 1412-1464 should weigh 108 grains) possibly due to some damage that has removed metal from one edge.

A cast copper-alloy coin weight of late medieval to early post-medieval date. A uniface weight, it bears an image of a ship on the obverse, struck onto a hexagonal flan. The artefact has bevelled sides such that the obverse face is smaller than the reverse. The lower surface bears numerous diagonal file marks. The ship is surrounded by a circular border and has a central mast; it lacks a rose, suggesting that this weight related to a noble rather than a ryal. Withers and Withers (1995, 19) describes such coin weights as Anglo-French and date them to the 15th or 16th centuries.
