Description: | Medieval English 'Wardrobe' jetton with a shield of Evreux and Naverre / cross made of four fleurs design, c.1344-1400 AD. Small flan type without outer legend. This obverse type was issued in France by the counts of Evreux and Kings of Navarre (Mitchiner 1988:166-7), it was then copied on English wardrobe tokens cf Berry 1974: plate 7, no.3 where it is categorised as type 1D and Barnard (1981, p. 105) no. 57. The reverse is different from either of the quoted examples but is found on other wardrobe tokens cf Mitchiner ibid:119 no.255a and Berry (ibid) no. 4. Mernick and Algar (2001) no. 48 may provide a direct comparison with the same obverse/reverse combination. This reverse (as Berry, Plate 7; no. 4 /Mitchiner 255, 255a) is documented as 'being recorded with flans 21mm, 27mm and 30mm in diameter' (Mernick and Algar: 223).
