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 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.

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.).
