Description: | A copper-alloy jetton brooch, created from a medieval jetton attributed to Edward I (1272 - 1307). It measures 25.8mm in diameter and is 2.36g in weight. The reverse of the jetton, which is the front face of the brooch, bears a long cross with star and crescent. The obverse bears three lions of England on shield with fleur-de-lis on each side. The pin is attached to the jetton with a single central copper-alloy rivet and consists of a strip with a loop at one end. The other end seems to be broken. This addition cannot be dated precisely. It could be contempory with the jetton or later.Another jetton brooch of a nearly similar type can be seen on the PAS database under the number SF - 70FD63. The jetton is not exactly the same, but the attaching system is quasi-identical.Another jetton brooch has also been found in Norwich made from an Edward I sterling bust jetton. It is believed to have been in the 1290s. (Margeson 1993, fig. 7, n. 66)
