Description: | Medieval copper alloy jetton combining the King under canopy obverse with a ship like design on the reverse. Mernick and Algar (2001: 224, No.53) publish a similar example which they identify as an unofficial English issue; Mitchiner 281 and 282 (page 123) are also similar and listed with his English 'Standing king under canopy' types of c.1350 - 1400 AD. Both identify the reverse as an imitation of a Chatal Tournois type, probably on the basis of the simple outline and horizontal bar ending in annulets. Neither the English or French king under canopy types uses a Chatal Tournois reverse so if this is an imitation it has combined two different jettons. Probably mid-late 14th century in date. The jetton has old breaks around all the edges. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
