Description: | A struck or pressed Medieval French jetton. Made on a thick piedfort of copper alloy, jetton is of the 'Chatel Tournois' type. The town of Tournai (now in Belgium) produced huge amount of jettons, but the design seen here went out of use in the early 15th century before being revived during the period 1497-1547. This example has fictitious legends on both faces. Obverse: Traditional Chatel Tournois (Castle of Tours) design with lys in centre at top (no lys depicted either side of the castle). Reverse: Simple cross pattee with lys in the four corners.
