Description: | A copper alloy trade weight from the modern period. The weight is a circular disc with a raised rim on the top face. It weighs 13.7g or 0.48oz and can be interpreted as a half oz weight. It has a diameter of 27.2mm and is 4mm thick. There are three stamps on the top: a quartered shield with a dagger in the top left quarter at 11o'clock (for the London Guildhall), a sword at 2o'clock and a ewer (for the Founder's Company, makers of weights) at 7o'clock. The Guildhall stamp was only used from 1826 onwards.
