Description: | A worn and corroded medieval copper-alloy jetton of 15th-century date. Even though there is no direct parallel in Mitchiner (1998, 227; cf. ref. 682ff.), the slightly blundered legend around the obverse design ('Shield of France') suggests that this is a stock jetton, most probably struck at Tournai. Similar jettons found in Salisbury (Saunders ed. 2001, 234; e.g. ref. 138) are dated to the third quarter of the 15th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
