A cast copper alloy Post-Medieval trade weight. It is circular, 14.41mm in diameter, 2.6mm in thickness and weighs 3.10g, which equates to 1/8th of an ounce. There is a small circle stamped at the centre of the upper surface, 2.85mm in diameter. There are two more stamps, including the ewer mark of the London Founders company and a shield, divided into four with a sword in the upper left quadrant. This shield mark is part of the royal cypher, but in the absence of an initial to suggest a monarch, it would suggest that this weight belongs to the Commonwealth period, 1649-1660 AD.
