Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy, uniface, circular, probable coin weight. One face is marked in the upper half with a W, with the roman numerals XXXVI or XXVII below. The other face is blank apart from a central pimple. A coin weight for a Noble is shown on p24 of Withers, P & B, Lions Ships and Angels that is marked with an XXXVI value in roman numerals. At 4.37g (67.4gn) the weight of this object would approximate to a half noble. It is not clear what the W indicates. On this basis, it is likely this is an unofficial coin weight. Circa 1351…

Lead alloy Post-Medieval probable weight or token. The object is flat (1.5mm thick) and sub-square (20mm x 22mm) with an image cast in relief decorating one side. The design is not easily recognisable as a letter or digit, nor any easily discernable symbol. A straight line, close and broadly parallel to one edge has two separate approximately one-third-spaced, down-curving crescents, that spring across the front face and meet close to the opposite edge. Perhaps the most likely interpretation is that of a letter D. The mass is 6.95g, which is just…
