Description: | Copper alloy Nuremberg token or jetton 26mm in diamter. This is a reckoning counter and was used on 'exchequer' boards in a similar way to an abacus. This token was made by Hans Schultes in Germany between 1553 and 1574. The obverse shows the lion of St Mark, which has wings, a halo and is carrying the Gospel in his front paw. This image is enclosed by a inscribed border which is impossible to make out. The revserse shows an orb summonted by a cross. This is enclosed in a double border consisting of three triangles joined together with crescents.
