Title
Medieval coin weight (rose noble)
Description
English: Copper-alloy weight for a half Ryal (Rose Noble). The weight is circular and flat with a raised design on one side only. The design is of the king with sword and square topped shield standing in a ship with rectangular bow and stern and a rose on the side of the ship. It is 13.6mm in diameter, 3.4mm thick and weighs 3.65 grams, 56.3 grains.

A full weight half ryal would have weighed 60 grains (Withers and Withers 1995, 68) but weights were normally made to the legal minimum weight which was slightly less and can lose weight through corrosion processes, the edges of this example are also flattened in places. The reverse bears numerous diagonal file marks. Ryals were only issued 1464-1470 AD although they circulated for longer (Withers and Withers 1995, 19); however later weights tend to be square so this example probably dates to 1464-1500 AD.
