Description: | A copper alloy stacking pan weight of Post Medieval date. It is circular and is one from a set of stacking weights which nested inside each other. It has a recessed upper face and sloping sides. The front face is decorated with incised lathe turned lines; one near the centre, a pair in the middle, and one next to the raised rim. The only stamped marks are two identical swords: the mark for the City of London (Sword of St Paul). Usually an ewer representing the Founder's Company, and a crowned letter representing the monarch would also be seen, but they are not present on this example. The weight has a smooth green patina. At 4.6oz, it would have been intended as a one half ounce weight.
