Description: | Medieval copper alloy French Jetton of 'Chatel Tournois' type. The obverse shows a stylised tower in the form of a bar forming three sides of a square surrounding a triangle, the ends tipped with annulets, representing the castle of Tours, with fleur de lis to left and right and a bar tipped with annulets below. The reverse has a plain cross. Such tokens are though to mainly date to the later 14th -early 15th century. See Mernick and Algar (2001:230, No.99-104, Fig 83) for other Chatel Tournois types.
