Description: | A complete but worn circular copper-alloy trade weight for either Charles I or Charles II of Post-Medieval date.It is flat and circular in form. The front face depicts the Royal cypher of Charles I or Charles II surmounted by a crown (1625-1685 AD), a sword and a ewer. The back face displays coarse filing marks.This trade weight is 27.58mm in diameter, 3.84mm in thickness, 13.18g in weight.These marks (or a subset of them) appear on all London weights from about 1590 to 1826. The letter A is frequently absent from the denominations of one ounce and below. This weight falls slightly below the standard weight to the value of half an ounce or 8 drams (Biggs, 1992, pp. 50). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
