A copper alloy Medieval or Post-Medieval coin weight. It is a round flan and uniface, with the design of three lis in a shield with crown over. The flan is 11.21mm in diameter, 2.04mm in thickness and weighs 1.46g. This is most likely a weight for the English or French half ecu, which was issued from the reign of Charles VII, 1422-61, to Louis XI, 1436-75AD. The ecu was current in England in 1525, for four shillings. It is not possible to say whether this is a French or English coin weight. ( Withers 1995, Lions, Ships and Angels, p39).

A copper alloy Post Medieval coin weight. It is a square weight, 14.1mm x 14.84mm and 2.6mm in thickness, and weighs 3.71g. The weight is corroded and few details can be deciphered, other than a circle on one face, with the suggestion of a crown above a straight line, probably from a Roman numeral defining the coin weight value. It most probably belongs to the series of coin weights produced between 1588-1632.

A copper alloy coin weight of early seventeenth century date. It is a square weight measuring 14.04mm x 14.49mm, 4.15mm inthickness and weighing 6.2g.Its surfaces are worn and no detail of verification mark or amount can be seen. Its size suggests either a half-unite (5.01g) or an Angel (4.2g) but obviously weighs more than either of these. The spur ryal seems closer in weight ( 6.36g) but is a larger square. Such coin weights were in common use during the decade 1620-30 AD
