Description: | A copper-alloy English medieval jetton with an unusual combination of devices.
The lion rampant within shield can be found on the obverse face of English pictorial casting counters illustrated in Mitchener (1998, 112). Similarly, the barbed rose obverse appears in the same series dating to the late 13th or 14th century (Mitchener 1988, 110, 116; refs. 186, 244). However, neither in Mitchener nor in Saunders (ed. 2001, 221; ref. 33 - for rose) do these two devices occur together on the same jetton; indeed, does the fact that the two are occurring together suggest a mule? There is, though, a reference to a worn jetton with a shield obverse and barbed rose reverse found by Pitt-Rivers at Tollard Royal in the late 19th century (Saunders ed. 2001, 221; ref. 33).
The jetton feature a central punch, particularly clear on the 'reverse' (rose) face, as per most of the contemporary published examples (see Saunders ed. 2001, 218). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
