Description: | Copper alloy circular eight drams weight. This is most likely an apothecary weight used to weigh out medicines. One topside is marked '8 [D]RAMS', with the 'D' mostly obscured by corrosion. The spelling 'DRAM' was replaced by 'DRACHM' circa 1890-1900. The underside is flat, with some markings; "7" and "5" are visible, but the others are mostly illegible. There is a shallow lip around the outer edge of the topside of the weight.It weighs 12.37g, is 23.35mm in diameter and is 5.3mm thick.
