Description: | Cast copper alloy trade weight, circular in plan and flat in profile, incised with a crowned GR and another crown on its own, on the opposite edge of the incuse part of the weight. The weight weighs 12.8 grams which equates to a little less than half an ounce, suggesting that weight was what it was used for.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar but larger 2 ounce weight on page 199, No.1395, which is dated from the late 18th to the early 19th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
