Description: | A copper alloy jetton which dates from the first reign of Henry VI. The jetton bears the bust of a crowned king within a quatrefoil on the obverse. The legend is illegible, but may have read: ??LES GIETOIRS AS CLERS??. On the reverse is a triple stranded cross fleuretty in a quatrefoil. The legend reads: ??[DE LAT]ON SVI NOVMES??. This jetton is very similar to one described on page 133 of ??Jetons, Medlets and Tokens, Volume One?? by Mitchiner (1988), number 329.3. The edges of the jetton are chipped and the obverse is very worn. It has a lovely glossy green patina. It has a diameter of 22.3mm and is 1.1mm thick. Mitchiner writes that this type of jetton is fairly uncommon. It dates from about 1422 ?? 1453 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
