Description: | A lead alloy Post Medieval weight with stamped letters on both faces. The weight is circular with a thickened rim on the upper face. The obverse is stamped twice with the letters "IS". The I has a central cross bar as well as crss strokes at the top and bottom. This suggests a Post Medieval date. The reverse is stamped with the letters "GW" twice, with the central strokes of the W overlapping. At 215g, the mass is a little under 8oz (7 and 5/8oz), but there are some scratches and chips, so the weight may have lost mass. The weight does not fit happily into other known weighing systems.
