Description: | A copper-alloy trade weight of 18th to 19th century date. The weight is circular in plan and has a recessed upper surface stamped with a crowned letter 'G' (nine o'clock), a ewer (six o'clock) and a sword (two o'clock). The artefact measures 23.1mm in diameter, 5mm thick and weighs 12.96g, indicating that it is probably a half ounce weight.This weight dates from the reigns of George I, II, III or IV, giving a potential range of 1714 to 1826. The sword is the mark of St. Paul and indicates that the weight was made in London; the ewer is a verification mark from the Founders Company, also of London.
