Description: | A circular copper-alloy trade weight from the post-medieval period. The weight measures 21 mm in diameter.

The reverse of the weight is plain. The shield of St George indicates that this weight dates from the period of the Commonwealth, when the crowned initial on trade weights was replaced.
