Description: | A copper alloy Medieval jetton, 1280-1345 AD. It has an outer border, the circumference of which is worn or partly clipped, and a perforation through the centre. The obverse has some pellets in its outer ring, but is worn and it is unclear whether there are more pellets or possible lettering. The centre is also worn, but there is the suggestion of a King's bust. The reverse has an outer ring of twenty pellets surrounding an inner circle which contains the four double-curved ends of a cross moline, the centre removed by the perforation. The jetton measures 19.19mm in diameter and weighs 1.13g. This type of medieval jetton was based on the silver penny coinage in use from the reign of Edward I.
