pesi monetali

[dindello]

Salve a tutti, non so se sono entrato nel forum adatto. Ho un bilancino di precisione, vecchio, mai usato che contiene al suo interno nove pesi di diverse grammature come da esempio in foto. Di che metallo sono?

Grazie

[ambidestro]

i pesi in foto sono in ottone,la punzonatura si riferisce agli anni 1933-1934,dovresti mettere la foto della scatoletta

KINGDOM of ITALY

1910 / reworked 1927 / 1928

MAKER: unknown

FORM: rectangular

CLOSURE: one brass hasp on the front

SIZE: mm 180 x 140 x 35

MATERIAL: cardboard covered in black paper, inside red velvet lined

SCALES: brass beam, on the beam are the maaker’s mark PP, the indication of the capacity (60 g) and the first verification stamps of the Kingdom, beam-ends No. 10, brass round pans suspended by chains with verification stamps between 1933 and 1951 / 1952

LABELS / INSCRIPTIONS: none

WEIGHTS: nine round recesses with nine brass coin weights:

Kingdom of Italy: 100 lire (32, 25 g), 50 lire (16, 12 g), 20 lire (6, 45 g), 10 lire (3, 22 g) and gold 5 lire (1, 61 g); silver 20 lire (15, 00 g), silver 20 lire (20, 00 g), silver 10 lire (10, 01 g) and silver 5 lire (5, 00 g)

FRACTIONAL WEIGHTS: none

NOTES: the weights for the gold coins are older, since no new weights for gold coins were made after the first World War (gold coins were then only nominally circulating in Italy); coin weights were produced for the new silver coins minted after the war with reduced mass (the presence of two weights of different mass for the 20 silver lire is due to the minting of two coins, one of 15, 00 g minted in 1927 and the other of 20, 00 g but with a lesser silver content, in 1928); the weights bear on the reverse (some also on the obverse) the maker’s mark PP, the first verification stamps of the Kingdom and verification stamps for the years between 1921 and 1954; this latter date is remarkable since the relevant coins were no longer circulating, and can be explained by the use of these weights by a goldsmith, a pawnbroker or similar, purchasing coins as bullion.
