Description: | A post medieval copper alloy trade weight from a stacking set dating to the period c.AD 1727-1820. It is a dished weight, flat and circular in form with a prominent and raised outer rim on the upper face. Stamped into the face is a probable crowned G, for George II (1727-1760) or George III (1760-1820). Overlying the crowned G is an engraved long cross. Also stamped into the face is a sword (for St Paul's and the City of London).When made the mass may have been refined through filing; numerous diagonal fine marks are visible on the lower surface.A similar trade weight has been published and dated from the late 18th to the early 19th century (Read 1988: 199, ref: 1395).Dimensions: 29mm in diameter, 4mm thick, 12.9g
