Description: | A post medieval, copper alloy French jetton of Tournai c. 1500-1550. It is of the traditional 'Chatel Tours' design, which had become obsolete but was re-introduced during this period. The legends on both sides are fictitious. It is 26.2mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 4.18gm. The jetton is well struck but is cracked across almost the full width of the flan. A similar example can be seen in Mitchiner, Vol. 1 p.242, No. 742.
