Description: | A late Medieval to early post-Medieval, copper-alloy, Nuremberg 'Ship Penny' jetton. The jetton is damaged, with areas of the flan missing. It has also been pierced with a 3mm diameter hole. The obverse design is of a sailing ship bearing a central mast with yard arm and stays, but no sail. On the left (stern) of the ship is a flagpole and on the right (bow) is a pole carrying three pennants. The mintmark is a crown, but the legend is indecipherable. The reverse design is of four fleurs-de-lis in a lozenge. There are three annulets along each outer edge of the lozenge. The legends are, again, indecipherable.This jetton is very similar to nos. 1172-1175 on page 373 of Mitchiner and dates from 1490-1550.
