Description: | A post medieval cast copper alloy trade weight from a stacking set, dating to the reign of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603). The weight is disc-shaped with a wide raised rim on the top. It weighs 12.7 grams or 0.45 oz. It was probably originally a half ounce with some post-manufacture weight loss. Within the face of the weight is stamped three marks; a crowned EL (for Elizabeth) and the sword of St Paul (for London) either side of 6 o'clock and a ewer (for the Founders Company) at 11 o'clock. This type of weight was issued from 1590 to 1603 AD.
