Bronze City Weight, Monetary, General, One Pound, 17-18th Century, City Of Agde, Rare

Very interesting bronze city weight. They are also called monetary weights, or degeneral, and are used to control the weight of the coins struck in the mints of the cities whose arms they carry. Here the city of Agde is represented, a high hexagonal platform on which rests a shape five-sided, with the city's coat of arms: stylized waves. The weight is approximately 400g, or one Pound of the time in the French unit (between 380g and 552g). Marks are difficult to see on the facade, a flaming heart, or a fiery coat of arms??
Good general condition, some wear from use, nothing serious!
French working, dating from the second part of the 17th century or early 18th century.
Dimensions: 4.8cm x 4.8cm x 3.3cm H
