The Noble weight that matches this unrecorded weight is Withers 135. However no others seem to have been found in the last 14 years so can be considered a special issue. Withers postulated that this was made when the Rose Ryal was introduced in 1464.

with a cartouche like frame 19.05mm. 5.87gm. This would appear to be from
a completely unpublished set. The date appears to be William III possibly
related to the re-coinage of 1695-7. The reference to Justice is new to us on British coin weights but is a common motif
on weight & scale makers labels.
