Description: | A probably Early Post-Medieval (1500-1600) lead trade weight, circular in shape and measuring 48-9mm in diameter, 1.1mm thick and weighing 207.46g (7.32oz). The weight has slight wear with minor edge knocks. It is stamped centrally with a round-based crown in relief, all within a double circle.The weight is very approximately a half pound avoirdupois but at 8.5% light this attribution is doubtful.See SMMC 3, 127 no.43 for another lead piece of this weight found near Salisbury. There considered by Geoff Egan to be a provincial weight, possibly representing some local standard.
