Description: | A complete copper alloy trade weight of post-medieval date. The weight is circular in plan with slightly raised sides and is stamped on the upper surface with the crowned monograph W IV denoting that this weigh was issued during the reign of William IV between 1830 - 1837.The metal has a dark reddish-brown patina and is worn. The weight is 13.8mm in diameter, 3.6mm thick and weighs 3.2g.This is likely to be a single example from a nested set of differing sizes and weights which were used to weigh gold and silver in the form of coin, small objects or scrap metal or other precious materials.
