oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 07/12/2019 04:51 am That is not a coin weight. It is an apothecary's weight-used for weighing drugs. They are often found mixed with coins. There are certainly collectors of this genre and I have a few myself. It is in rough shape for this type of item, but I have no idea if this manufacturer is considered common or not.

I too find them often in the bulk bags I buy. At one time in Greece they were used both as weights of measure and coins. Report this Post to the Staff
