Description: | A copper-alloy 4 oz trade weight of post-medieval, probable Commonwealth date (1649-1660AD). The weight is circular with a raised rim. The centre has a central ring and dot surrounded by two incised circles. Around these there is a shield of St George to the left, a sword above, an A to the right and a ewer to the bottom right. The reverse has a central depression, surrounded by a circular depression. Grooves on the reverse may relate to filing in order to reduce the weight. The weight now weighs 106.1 grams, which converts to 3.742 ounces. It measures 52.47 mm in diameter and is 8.7 mm thick. It has a dark green patina.
