Description: | A medieval to post-medieval cast copper-alloy trade weight probably dating to the reigns of either Henry VII or Henry VIII (circa 1485 - 1547). The weight is circular and has five thin concentric elevated bands surrounding a central raised area with small indent on the face of the coin. The crown mark present on the reverse is barely visible due to a combination of wear and corrosion but probably surmounts an initial, possibly a lombardic 'h'. The reverse has 2 concentric circles with a central oval indent. The trade weight is 38.6mm in diameter, 3.55mm in thickness and weighs 26.13g (0.921 oz).The trade weight has probably lost weight, having once weighed an ounce, due to wear.
