Title: Possible Coin Weight
Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on February 28, 2009, 05:46:20 PM
I found this today & I think it's a coin weight but unsure.

If anyone thinks it is, how would I find out which coin it was made to weigh?

Yes, it looks like a circle with a Shield inside of it & 3 Fleur De Lys inside of that!

Nice one Hedgehog, it's almost certainly a weight for a French Ecu.

Thanks for the ID guys
