Description: | A complete medieval "shield of France" copper alloy jeton. Mass: 6.2g. Diameter: 28.2mm. The jeton is very similar to items 682, 683, 685, 686 and 687a recorded in Mitchiner (1988, 226-227).
Mitchiner (1988: 224) states: "The period of issue of these jetons appears to span most of the 15th century." He adds (ibid.): "Throughout the period the majority of jetons bear designs that are essentially fossilised permutations based on forms popular during the early 15th century." | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
