Description: | A lead alloy probably trade weight. The weight is discoidal and has a diameter of 24.7mm. It is 6.8mm thick and has a rounded edge. The top of the weight is slightly domed and there are two kidney shaped depressions in the surface. The reverse is slightly concave. The weight has a mass of 26.31g which is 0.93oz, so it is likely that the weight was intended to be a 1 oz trade weight. The standard system of pounds and ounces has been in use since the 14th century, so this weight could date from any time after that. | Subjects: | trade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
