Description: | Trade weight for half an ounce of copper alloy (probably brass). It is 23mm in diameter, 3.5mm thick and weighs 13.34g (0.47oz). It is a stacking weight from a set.
Obverse: within a central recess there are three stamps, (1) shield with arms of the city of London, (2) a ewer and (3) a crowned G.
Weights bearing the arms of London occur after 1826, so the crowned G must refer to George IV and thus the weight dates to between 1826-1830. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1826
