Description: | Cast copper alloy circular trade weight of James I (1602-1625), with a raised border and an internal recessed face with the incuse marks of the crowned initial 'I' at 6 o'clock with the sword just to the right, and the ewer, inverted, at 12 o'clock. The weight of 21.4 g equates to three quarters of an ounce, but as some of the edge has corroded away, the weight was probably used for an ounce originally.Bailey (2000) refers to this arrangement on a trade weight as having been used during the reign of James I on page 43.
