Description: | Copper alloy French jetton dating to the late Medieval, early Post-Medieval period. The jetton is a three circles badge of Tournai. The obverse shows the traditional three circles emblem of the city of Tournai, with a lis in each circle. The reverse shows a cross pattee with a flower in each angle, all in an eight-arched tressure. The object is very worn, and most of the legend cannot be discerned. The obverse: [...]BIIIIO[...] I II[...]. The reverse: [...]IIIE[...]IIE OI[...]. These inscriptions are likely to represent the slogan 'Sit Nomen Domini'. The shape of the D, being more like a B, is a known die flaw, and this jetton therefore probably dates to circa 1500.
