Description: | A medieval to post-medieval cast copper-alloy trade weight probably dating to the reigns of either Henry VII or Henry VIII. The weight is circular and on the face, near the edge, is a single incised plain line circle. In addition there is a small elevated band surrounding a central indent on the face of the coin. The crown mark present on the face is barely visible due to a combination of wear and corrosion but probably surmounts an initial, possibly a lombardic 'h'. The back of the trade weight has multiple curvilinear recessed areas presumably created legitimately during manufacture to adjust the final weight, as well as areas of diagonal file marks. The trade weight is 32.6mm in diameter, 2.0mm in thickness and weighs 12.14g (0.429 oz).The trade weight has probably lost weight, having once weighed half an ounce, due to wear.
