Description: | A cast copper-alloy circular trade weight of post-medieval (probable late 17th-century) date. The weight has a low rim on its upper surface measuring 3.08mm in width. Within the surface of the weight is the sword of St Paul (for the City of London). Also punched on the object is a possible ewer (for the Founder's Company, maker of weights) and a rose. A fourth punch mark is undecipherable due to wear. The rear face is flat with a small circular pit at the centre. There is no indication of any file marks. The object has a light green patina.
