Description: | A cast copper-alloy trade weight of Post-Medieval date. It is circular in form with inset upper surface that has incised double concentric circles, and a flat back face that has a central circular indentation. The inset surface has stamped marks comprising a crowned W at 12 O'clock for William III, a crowned T at 4 O'clock that probably represents the place of verification, and a conjoined AB at 8 O'clock that is probably a makers' mark. An additional mark of three characters is apparent at the centre of the weight, which may read 'SUD', although this remains uncertain. The weight measures 18.46mm in diameter, 4.75mm in thickness/height, and weighs 6.48g (0.22 ounces).This trade weight finds close parallels in two larger examples from Norfolk (NMS-C4B510) and Sussex (SUSS-50A1C3) that, with the exception of the 'SUD', carry the same marks. It dates to the reign of William III, c.1694-1702 AD.
