Comments
The exact values of these types varies by source. Hartill lists this as a 10 Cash piece based on its weight; however, with its composition being iron (much less valuable than copper), and with earlier pieces being listed as being 1/10 Cash pieces (being of equal sizes to the copper pieces and with the value being agreed upon on by various sources), it is likely this was actually 1 Cash piece.
