Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 10:48 pm They are both "weights", not "tokens", for use with old-style balance scales. The others have discussed the first piece. The second piece with "10s.6d" is a coin weight, intended to be the weight for a gold coin with a face value of 10 shillings and sixpence, for use with a "coin balance" which helped merchants quickly determine whether a gold coin was genuine or not. As 10 shillings sixpence is half of 21 shillings and 21 shillings is a guinea, this must therefore be a half-guinea weight. 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
