Description: Rectangular bar-shaped ingot with concave ends. The upper and lower surfaces and the sides are hammered smooth, with ancient abrasions. Metal analysis: Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum by the Department of Conservation and Scientific Research indicated an approximate silver content for the ingot of 81%, the remainder being copper, iron, zinc, lead, gold and tin. This surface analysis is likely to give a slight overestimate of the silver content of the core metal as corrosion alters the composition of the surface of the ingot by preferentially leac…

A post-medieval copper-alloy trade weight from the reign of James II (AD 1685-1688). The weight is circular with a wide raised rim on the top and slight central rise on the upper surface with concentric incised lines around. It is 19.7mm in diameter by up to 3.2mm thick and weighs 4.8 grams, 0.169oz. Though it has probably lost weight through corrosion it is siginificantly underweight for a quarter ounce weight, for which it is the usual module (see Biggs 1992, 51). When made the mass may have been refining through filing; numerous diagonal fine marks are visible on the lower surface.…
