A 50 gr weight of the State of Israel. The bottom of the weight exhibits scratch marks, above which was stamped an official seal — a set of scales and the year ’53. Scratch marks such as these were regularly applied in order to reduce the weight of overweight weights. The scratch marks are directly beneath the seal, and may have been placed there by the weights inspector who proceeded to stamp the weight.
