Description: | Large cast cu-alloy weight dating from the early modern period, i.e. c. AD1700-1900. The weight is circular without any decoration. Usually, this type of weight would have had official stamps in the centre of the obverse ring, but there do not seem to be any. This suggests that this weight dates from the late 19th or even early 20th century when these 'nests' of weights (which this weight belongs to) were very common. It weighs almost 100g which could suggest that it is a metric weight.
