Description: | Copper alloy weight. Cast discoid weight with an upstanding rim on its upper surface and a marked concavity on its underside. Circumferential grooves on the upper surface suggest finishing on a lathe. A faint stamp on the upper side comprising a cushion crown over the letters [probably V] R shows inspection under a regime which gathered pace from the mid-19th-century, and may suggest the weight was for commercial use. It probably represented one half of a [slightly underweight] averdepois ounce. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.Diameter: 24.8mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 13.32gms.
