Description: | Medieval copper alloy English Jetton of Star and Crescent/Cross design. The obverse is a six pointed star with crescent moon within a border of repeated IO; the reverse is a long three stranded cross with trefoil terminals to the arms and three pellets in each quarter and a border of repeated IO. Mernick and Algar (2001) illustrate three jettons with similar obverse (page 220). They suggest the star and moon device was a badge of the Plantagenet kings and that it was first produced c. 1325 AD but continued in use for some while with a variety of reverse types. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
