Description: | A circular, copper alloy weight of probable Post Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1900. It is a circular weight with a concave upper face, a small hoel through the centre and concentric rings on the upper face. It is stamped with a thistle at 12o'clock and a fleur at 6o'clock. It has a dark green patina. It is 22.5mm in diameter and 2.7mm thick. It weighs 5.85gm. At 90 grains, this may be a 1 and a half drachm weight, but it does not look like any examples in Biggs (1994) Apothecaries Weights.
