Description: | A struck/ hammered copper alloy Tournai jetton (diameter: 21.2mm; thickness: 0.8mm; weight: 2.55g) dating between 1497-1547 AD, during the reigns of Louis XII & Francis I. This Tournai jetton is shows the characteristic three circles of Tournai on the obverse and a simple cross patty on the reverse. The outer edges of the jetton are broken/ corroded so no recognisable inscription remains. Overall, the jetton is worn on both sides and in a poor condition with a dark green patina.Reference: Michael Mitchiner, 'Jettons, Medalets & Tokens: The Medieval Period and Nuremburg: Volume I', pages 242-5.
