Description: | A copper-alloy jetton of medieval date. This piece is a good example of a 'Bear jetton' (see Mitchiner, 1988, p. 185), the animal being the local emblem of the Languedoc region in south-west France. Mitchiner suggests that jettons alluding to the provinces were struck during the reigns of Charles V and Charles VI, between AD c. 1373 and 1415 (1988, p. 182). The jetton is in good condition, with little wear or corrosion. It measures 20.6mm in diameter, 1.1mm thick and weighs 2.05g. | Subjects: | French | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
