Description: | A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy circular trade weight (1727-1760).This flat weight is circular in plan and has a raised flat rim. Verification marks within consist of a sword (City of London) at 12 o' clock, an ewer (mark of the Founders Company of London) at six o' clock and a crowned 'G' (probably for George II) at 9 o' clock. The sides flare slightly from the base to the rim. Lathe centre mark and turned lines at the front. File adjustment marks can be seen on the rear face.The weight is in good condition and has a green patina overall.Diameter: 25.3mm; thickness: 4.3mm. Weight: 13.03g. (0.4600 ounces).According to Biggs (1996, 10) the position of the crowned 'G' at 9 o' clock, and the other marks being evenly spaced, indicate that it is for George II (1727-1760).Biggs, R. 1996.
