A cast copper alloy trade weight for a quarter ounce. The weight has a crown at 12 o'clock and an unidentified mark at 6 o'clock, possibly a ewer but too worn for definite identification. The trade weight is now worn and slightly underweight at 0.22 oz (6.3gms). The trade weight dates from AD 1550 onwards. Without being able to identify the symbology a more accurate date remains elusive.
