Overlying this circle are four stamped motifs: A letter 'A' for avoirdupois, the royal cypher 'G' surmounted by a crown, the sword of St Paul and an ewer denoting that the weight was approved by the Founders Company in London. The back has a central indentation and file adjustment marks. At 55.9g this weight is the equivalent to nearly 2 oz.
