Description: | A copper-alloy Post-Medieval trade weight of Charles I-II, c. 1625-1685 AD. It is circular in form with flat back face and raised rim on the front face. The front face carries stamped London marks with a crowned C and sword at the 12 O'clock position representing the royal cypher and the City of London Guildhall mark, and a ewer at 6 O'clock for the London Founders Company. This indicates it was an offical weight issued during the reigns of Charles I or II and based on the averdepois weight standard. It measures 25.39mm in diameter, 4.20mm in thickness, and weighs 13.56g (approximately half an ounce). See Biggs, 1993: pp. 50-51. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
