Description: | A very worn, corroded and incomplete copper-alloy jetton of late medieval date. The combination of obverse (shield) and reverse (cross patty) designs suggest a late fifteenth century date and a French provenance; it was probably struck at Tournai. Jettons with this combination can be found illustrated in Mitchener (1988, 237-238) and Saunders (ed. 2001, 257; fig. 85); one (number 183) was broken an in way intriguingly similar to this example, the suggestion being that the edge was sharpened to create a small drawknife (Saunders ed., 239; ref. 183). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1475
