Description: | A trade weight of George II (1727-60) made of cast gunmetal. The weight is 25.35g (approximately one ounce).The positions of the marks differentiate the king under which the weight was issued. The crowned G sits at 9 o'clock, the A sits at 3 o'clock and the ewer at roughly 6 o'clock. The sword mark is set at 12 o'clock, at an angle. This dates the weight to the reign of George II.The reverse is plain, but scratched. It is 5mm high and 32mm in diameter.Similar can be seen in Norman Biggs 'English weights: an Illustrated survey', 1992, page 52
