[edit]
Description
English: Schematic drawing of a figure on a Akan gold weight from the Agni region (Anyi, Ivory Coast) representing "1 Pereguan".

Real weight if this weight piece: 70.10 g
Drawing after figure in: H.Abel, "Déchiffrement des poids à peser l'Or en Côte d'Ivoire", In: Journal de la Société des Africanistes (Paris), vol.22, No.1/2, 1952, pp.95-114 and vol. 24, No.1, 1954, pp.7-23

To the number symbolishm of this figure:

- Lower and upper line: bar code = 2 x 10
- St. Andrew's cross (saltire) = 8
- Horizontal line in the centre = 4
- Upper line bar code = 10 over all = multiplication with 10

Total interpretation for this figure: 8 + 4 + 10 + 10 = 32 --> 10 x 32 = 320
So, this figure is representing: 1 Pereguan = 320 Taku.
weight, theoretical 320 x 0,2194 g = 70,208 g (amount according to Abel)
(1 Taku = 3 grains of Abrus precatorius, average weight of 1 seed-grain = 0.0731 g --> 1 Taku = 0.2194 g)
weigt, real: 70,10 g
Conclusion: This weight represent 1 Pereguan = 320 Taku.
