Description: | A copper-alloy half-ounce trade weight of Charles I or II. The trade weight is circular and is 29 mm in diameter. The weight has a central dip which is 22 mm in diameter. Engraved within this dip is a C beneath a crown for Charles next to a sword. Beneath these, at the bottom of the weight, is an engraved ewer. There is a small circular incision in the centre of the trade weight. The reverse of the weight is covered in a number of criss-crossing scratches which look as though they may have been deliberate. The weight weighs 13.6 grams (0.45 oz). | Subjects: | trade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
