Description: | A Post-Medieval to early modern copper alloy trade weight. The weight is small and circular, with a raised edge. The reverse is plain. The face has a central incised or stamped circle in the centre. Around this circle are three incised motifs: a letter 'G' surmounted by a crown, a shield of St George and (more faint) a ewer. The ewer denotes that the weight was approved by the Founders Company in London. The Crown with a G is the royal cypher of either George the I, II,III or IV. It was therefore produced between 1714 and 1830 (Bailey, 2000, 'Finds Identified', pages 42-43).Diameter 18.12mm, thickness including raised edge 4.41mm, weight 6.7g.
