Description: | A complete copper alloy trade weight from a stacking set and of post-medieval date. The weight is circular in plan and has a raised flat rim. Verification marks within consist of three official marks; (i) sword of Saint Paul, often referred to as a dagger, for the City of London (Guildhall) mark; (ii) The ewer or coffee pot - mark of the Founder's Company, London and, (iii) the Royal Cypher mark of a crown over capital letter 'G' for George (King). 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 (AD 1727-1760).
