<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeromeLS, post: 390687, member: 7867&quot;]Coin weights are peices of brass, copper or lead which were used to weigh gold coins before the existance of milled coinage to check that the coin was not underweight, clipped or counterfeit. They were made both by the state, and by private individual. They were made across Europe from the 13th to 18th centuries, but became redundant once milled coinage was widespread. They tend to be, like your peice, very thick. What does it weigh ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
