Description: | A copper-alloy French jetton, c.1497-1521. Mitchiner No.s 732-4. The obverse shows a 'V' for Virgo (Virgin Mary) with a single trefoil in the field either side of the 'V'. The obverse legend reads something similar to SIT NOMEN BENEDICTVM although the legend on the jetton is very worn in places. The reverse field is extremely worn on this jetton but is likely to have shown a cross patty, with a flower in each angle. Dimensions: diameter 28.28mm, thickness 0.60mm, weight 2.0g. See P.A.S. record DUR-106F90, KENT-037544 and WILT-F114F3 for similar examples, also Barnard 79 (pp.122-123).These jettons are relatively uncommon.
