Description: | A rose and orb jetton dating from c.1500-1585. Probably one of type 1227 - 1283 from Mitchiner's 'Jeton, Medalets and Tokens: The Medieval Period and Nuremberg' Volume One, pages 381-386. A five petalled rose is surrounded by three crowns alternating with three fleur-de-lis. The spikes of the crowns are finished with annulets. A line divides this design from the inscription.
On the reverse face, a cross is surrounded by an ornamental tressure. The space between each point of the tressure and the inner circle line contains two annulets. The inscription is illegible. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
