Description: | A copper-alloy jetton struck by Iorg Schultes of Nuremberg. The surfaces are worn in places and are also corroded. It measures 31.3mm in diameter, 1.3mm thick and weighs 8g.Obverse: winged lion of St. Mark of Venice, standing left, nimbate, holding Book of Gospels; at least four rosettes in field. '(crown) IOG ShVLTES NOHRHGE:' (mullets separating words).Reverse: The Reichsapfel within a double tressure of three curves and three angles; in each outer angle, triangle bordered by two pellets. '(crown) IOG ShVLTES NKRFF:TY' (mullets separating words).Mitchiner illustrates similar jettons by Iorg Schultes, but provides no exact match for this example. 'Lion of St. Mark' jettons bearing dates from 1551 to 1553 are known, and it is suggested that the undated versions date from just before this time (Mitchiner 1988: 392-393). Schultes became a master spengler in 1515 and died in 1559.
