Hello,

This French weight was for the 4 doppia of Firenze, Italy.
XX D XVI = 20 deniers 16 grains = the weight of the coin
IB = mintmark of the "maître balancier juré" Jacques Blanc (in Lyon), 1668-1685
Here is a little interesting biography of Jacques Blanc you can transate with Ggle https://detectionloisir.forumactif.com/t1397-poids-pour-le-quadruple-doppia-de-florence

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
