Post medieval one ounce avoirdupois or Troy lead discoidal trade weight, stamped with a circular stamp of a merchant's privy mark *IR* and the ligatured letters LWAE below. A deep rectangular stamp surmounts it. It is more likely to be an underweight Troy ounce than an overweight avoirdupois ounce since weights are more likely to lose weight over time than gain it. Diameter 32 mm. Thickness 4 mm. Weight 1.0535 oz, 0.9615 oz t, 29.89 g.
