Title
15th century coin weight
Description
English: 15th century copper alloy 'Noble' coin weight. This coin weight is circular in plan, is 4mm thick and has a diameter of 16mm. It weighs 5.58grammes (approximately 97 grains), which is the equivalent of a full Noble coin. The design shows a ship facing right with a lis and lion in the left and right upper fields. The ship has one stay left and one to the right, with a double end pennant flying to the left. The castles is small and hatched. The reverse of the weight is blank. See Withers and Withers, 1994,page 15, number 169.

This is a representational weight in that it bears a design similar to the coin which it was intended to weigh. Weights of this type, including those for the Angel and Ryal, were probably introduced in 1471 at the beginning of the second reign of Edward IV.
