Post medieval lead pan weight The weight is circular and rectangular sectioned (41.3mm diameter and 5.5mm thick), weighing 70.06g (2.473 ounces). One face is enhanced with cast decoration, now worn and corroded but comprising a pair of concentric ribs, a sword (indicating the City of London), a possible reversed letter ‘C’ and a letter ‘A’ probably indicating Avoirdupois. The weight is broadly consistent with a one-sixth of a pound Avoirdupois Equivalent to 71.0g or 75.73g). The weight may be an official weight as suggested by the sword but is unusual for a trad…

The weight currently weighs 44.48g, equivalent to 1.569 ounces or 0.098 ponds, suggesting that the weight was possibly originally an eighth-pound weight under the English Troy System (equivalent 46.6g) of medieval or post med…
