Description: | A corroded copper-alloy jetton of French origin and late medieval date. No exact parallel could be found for the reverse design on this jetton but similar examples are illustrated by Mitchiner (1988; pp. 201) and it is doubtless a 15th century issue, probably struck during the reign of Charles VII (c. 1447-1461 AD). A hole has been pierced for later conversion into a pendant. The jetton measures 28.2mm in diameter, 0.7mm thick and weighs 2.01g.
