Description: | The upper half of a biconvex pin-head formed from a complete and worn post-Medieval copper-alloy Nuremberg jetton of Hans Krauwinckel II (fl. 1586-1635). 'Rose / orb' type (Mitchiner 1988: 435, ref: 1495).This jetton has been modified to form the upper part of a pin-head. It is convex on the obverse side and concave on the reverse side. The details on the obverse are barely visible due to wear and the details on the reverse are clear. This dished jetton would have been soldered to another similar shaped one to form a biconvex head. Obverse: :HANNS KRAVWINCKEL IN NVRNB; three crowns, alternating with three lis, arranged centrifugally around a central rose.Reverse: [ ]GOTE[ ]; imperial orb surmounted by a cross patty, within a tressure of three main arches.Similar pin heads have been recorded. See, Portable Antiquities Scheme finds: LIN-612C61, LIN-488423, BUC-9A34C0 and SOM-EFB851.Two pins with heads formed of a pair of flattened hemispheres, similar in form but made of plain sheet are recorded in Platt and Coleman-Smith 1975: 260, 263; refs: 1788, 1790. These are from 16th century contexts.
