Strictly speaking, not a coin

    Greetings everyone from a wet U.K,
    Now I'm having a puzzling time with this circular bronze coin weight I recently found whilst detecting. Because it's supposed to roughly portray the coin it was a weight for I thought I'd post it up and see if anyone can tell me what coin it's supposed to have weighed! So, it weighs 4.7 grams, is 18mm in diameter and has a depth of 2mm. It looks all the world like the image seen on Spur Ryals (I wish!), I 'think' I can see an 'X' underneath the crown and possibly an 'S', but apart from these snippets I just can't find a match. I've trawled over 1000 images of coin weights but apart from getting blurred vision and a thumping head ache I haven't seen a match. In case anyone's wondering I didn't attempt to clean it, just gave it a waxing after a wash under the tap.
    Thanks to all in advance!:) any idea.JPG coin weight.JPG copper-alloy.JPG unknown.JPG
