Description: | A cast copper alloy weight of probable late post-medieval or modern date (1700-1800). The weight is part of a larger group of stacking weights, having a wide and relatively thick raised edge on the upper face. The front and rear faces both have turned circles around a central hollow point on the obverse and a raised boss on the reverse; all of these concentric circles are regular and well formed. Around the edge of the front face are a series of stamped marks, these are corroded but relatively legible: they consist if the initial A (probably for Queen Anne), a poorly defined sword (the city of London). Two other marks are present but poorly preserved, on the lower edge is a lis or Coffee pot, and on the upper a lis or star. The weight is a mid dusty green colour with a abraded polished patina. Both faces have been scratched.The weight measures 7.4mm thick, diameter of 57.7mm and weighs 103.69 grams (3.7 ozs or 1600 grains).
