Description: | Complete cast copper alloy circular trade weight of Post Medieval date (AD 1685 - AD 1688). Diameter 40mm, thickness 3.8mm. Weight 24.07g. (0.8490 ounces). The weight has a raised peripheral rim, 3.8mm in thickness and 3mm in width. The area enclosed by the rim is slightly concave. At the centre is a small circular depression, about 1.0mm in diameter. The point is the centre form which three concentric circles have been inscribed. These circles have radii of 9.1mm, 10.8mm and 11.4mm. The concentric circles have been over stamped with two verification marks, an "I" and a crown. The letter I probably represents the monarch's initials for James II. The weight also has inscribed initials "FW". The reverse is flat and has a number of file marks and scratch marks. All surfaces have a mid-green patina. However, there are small areas which have powdery green corrosion products.
