Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 2896 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 5:20 pm I have this mysterious little thing that I can't ID. It is only 13 mm. in diameter but is 3 mm. thick and weighs 3.56 grams. It seems to depict a "knight" holding a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left. The shield looks to be divided into four parts. The knight looks as though he is standing, facing, in a ship that has highly curved sides. It is uniface. The other side is blank. Could this be a medieval token or weight? It doesn't seem like it's a coin since it's uniface and thick. Anyone have an idea about this one? Thanks. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 23236 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 6:01 pm @paul, my vote is for this being a coin weight. Here is a link to a bi-faced example that has a similar design in the collection at the Birmingham Museums Trust: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/...8-55615).jpg Also, see the Colchester Treasure Hunting & Metal Detecting club website here for more research: http://www.colchestertreasurehuntin...nweights.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 14261 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 7:51 pm Concur with the "coin weight" theory. The design, with somebody standing on a boat holding a shield, is of a English gold coin, the noble. A weight like this would thus have been used on a balance to detect clipped or counterfeit coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
