Description: | A copper alloy stock jetton of anonymous Nuremburg type, dating to the period AD 1500 to 1525. The obverse depicts a shield of France with three fleurs de lis and floriate projections to each side, it is possibly surmounted by a crown that interrupts the border. The legend is worn but possibly fictitious: 'BEV[...]ONVE[...]' On the reverse there is an imperial orb, surmounted by a cross witin an ornamental double tressure that has three main arches. The probably fictitious legend reads '[...]LE:BOIN[...]'. The jetton has a diameter of 25.5mm, is 0.4mm thick and weighs 1.11 grams. It is pierced with a circular hole near the edge at 7 o'clock on the obverse and 2 o'clock on the reverse. Mitchiner No.1088 (p. 357).
