Description: | A Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper-alloy trade weight from the reign of Henry VII or Henry VIII. The weight is a disc with rounded edges. On the front is a slightly raised circular area in the centre and a pair of plain line circles incised near, and parallel to, the edge. The face has also been stamped with a lombardic style h, surmounted by a crown,about 6 o'clock near the incised circles. The back of the trade weight has an indented circle around the cnetre and is covered in file marks. The weight is 34.9mm in diameter, 3.6mm in thickness and weighs 23.16 grams (0.815 oz).The trade weight has probably lost weight, having once weighed an ounce, due to corrosion or alternatively due to the removal of material (as evidenced by the indented band on the back) to be of light weight.
