Description: | A copper alloy ??Ship-penny?? jetton. The obverse bears a ship with a stern castle on the right and flag bow on the left. This is the Nuremberg ??ship penny?? derived from 15th century local issues. The ??four lis in a lozenge?? reverse design was adopted by other French prototypes. This type is an anonymous issue, dating to 1490-1550AD. Although the inscriptions are illegible, it seems to be a ??small fictitious legend with no ??G?? present above ship?? type It measures 26.51mm diameter x 0.96mm, weighing 2.02g. For examples, see Mitchiner volume one, 1168-1186. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
