Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-medieval trader's weight from the reign of Charles I (1625-1649) or Charles II (1660-1685).The weight is cup-shaped (a disc with a raised rim) and has three symbols stamped into the face; a crowned C at 11 o'clock (C for Charles) which may suggest the weight was checked during the reign of Charles I (1625-1649) or Charles II (1660-1685), a sword at 1 o'clock (for St Paul's and the City of London), and a ewer at 5 o'clock (for the London Founder's Company who had a Royal charter to verify trade weights).When made the mass may have been refined through filing; numerous diagonal fine marks are visible on the lower surface.
